It took me a long time before I felt like I could call myself "a runner." Now that I've had to hang up the shoes for a while (running at 20 weeks pregnant just hurt too much) I really miss it. I think my dog does, too. And it's just not the same being on the elliptical machine at the gym. But there's a season for everything - and right now i'm highly enjoying the little kicks I'm feeling. :)Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07821592360402715054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-31418411881473727132009-11-15T07:06:02.205-05:002009-11-15T07:06:02.205-05:00What an amazing runner you are!

That photo of you is priceless. <br /><br />Isn't it amazing how God gives us little gifts which can seem rather inconsequential at the time--but that turn out to be hugely consequential in our lives? <br /><br />Glad to read one of your posts again.

You spring chicken.<br />I've decided there are some things in life one must not do:<br />1. No cheap trash bags<br />2. No cheap toilet paper<br />3. No cheap paper towels<br />4. No chance to ever have a stinky boy's room clean<br />5. No chance to ever keep a 5 year old girl from talking 1,000,000 words a day.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381880428018520967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-44482498992962043972009-11-10T18:37:16.330-05:002009-11-10T18:37:16.330-05:00I found running as an adult.

I'm training for my second half-marathon now. I only wish I had found it earlier in my life.

Priceless. :) Just reading your post makes me want to put on my running shoes and get out there- I love running, but would never say I was any good at it. Hate how life gets "too busy" for it- but I guess I should take a page from your book and get out there!
