Running...
I have finally been inspired. I'm not sure by what. Maybe all of the clothes in my closet that once fit me after I lost 30 pounds (plus 30 pounds of baby weight!) after I had Tate, but just hang there now waiting to be worn. Or maybe the idea that a thin person really does exist somewhere inside! Who knows? The point is that I am finally motivated to lose weight again. So, 2 Mondays ago I started walking a lap then running a lap. At 5:00 AM! I love that I have my workout over with before my day even starts and some days I even go do it again in the afternoon. I am now up to 3 miles. And I am starting to go to a spin class twice a week. I am loving it. So yesterday a friend and I decided to take it to the next level. So we started a team to run in the Race for the Cure on October 4th! Thanks Jana!! Our goal is to run the entire race (3.1 miles), to recruit 25 members, and to raise $1000. Our team is called "Cooper vs. Cancer". I am so excited to be doing this!! Not only is it for a great cause but it is keeping me motivated each morning when that awful alarm starts to ring!

You'll do it no problem! I know you...you're stong and determined!! We should sign up for a race to do together here in the spring...and then it will be an excuse to go out and celebrate when it is over!
Sign me up!!! I will run with you - I need to be motivated too! Where do you run/walk?
I thought the same thing when I saw it being advertised. I will be on the Cooper team!! I got the email today and thought God is telling me to just do this. I did one a couple of years ago so maybe I will not do that bad.
That is so awesome! I would love to shed the last 13 lbs, but dont know if I can even run down the street.Ive given myself till the end of october to do it.
Way to go!!!! If you and Kel wand a 3rd wheel at a race in DFW...I'll join!! I miss running soooo bad when I'm prego!!!!
