Ok, so far the wieght loss has been very slow and well just hard! I have been doing weight watchers but I have not been working out. I am not very good at working out. Me and working out are just not friends, but on the long drive to Chinle for Christmas I had some time to think. I decided that I have trouble working out because I have no goals. So I decided that I am going to run a 1/2 marathon. That is right 13 miles! To prepare for this I am going to first train and start with a few 5k runs. Then work up to a 10k and then end with my 1/2 marathon in Logan, UT in September. So I started today and I walked about a 1 3/4 of a mile and ran 1/4 of a mile. I have not ran in a very long time so it was not easy, but it felt great to actually start! So I will be posting my progress as I train for my races! If there is anyone that would like to run with me that would be fun! If you have any tips I would love to hear them! I have seen running change peoples lives and I am hoping that it will help me to be more healthy! So here is day one! Today was good, I am sure tomorrow will be bad, and the next day ugly, but I am going to keep on going!

You ROCK girl! I say get a nike+ sensor (it hooks on any shoe), good toonage, and good shoes. Running will make you feel so much better and healthier. I will run it with you if I'm not pregnant. I ran the "See Jane Run" half last May. It was AWESOME. All women, flat course, and FUN! You should look into that one. I used Hal Higdon training program for beginners, just google it and it will pop up. GOOD LUCK!!!
Ok Doggett. You just motivated me to sign up for another half! Check out my blog I put a button on there for it ;0)
Way to go Jess! Everybody is rooting for you!
