Look at Lee running a mini-marathon. He's kind of disgusting awesome like that.
I'm wanting to run again. Of course I can't run right now with the pregnancy. (It's not that pregnant women can't run, but they shouldn't start running during pregnancy. It's cool if you're already doing it.) So I keep thinking about how I'll start running again after pregnancy. I'll get new shoes and start the Couch to 5K program I had some success with a few years ago (if I can find it). Running can be my 30-minutes of escape from baby for some glorious me time and some quality daddy-daughter time for Lee and Elizabeth. I've even been looking for a 5K to sign up for this fall. I've been working on getting in a more consistent walking habit (It would help if the rain finally stopped. And if I wasn't lazy.) so it won't be as big of a deal to add in some running in a few months.
We'll see how I feel about this in a couple months. ;)

I keep wanting to be able to run a 5k I don't mind if it takes me 30-45 minutes (that's still faster than I can walk it lol). I just want to be able to say that I did it :)
I'll run a 5K with you in the fall! I'll make Matt do it too, but he'll probably pass us... I don't like to run more than 2 miles usually, but I've been working on running since I wrote my "I hate running" blog.
I know what you mean! I guess in my head it seems like a standard for fitness: I should at least be able to do a 5K to consider myself a reasonably "healthy" person.
I've gotten Lee to agree to run my first 5K with me, even though it's a bit phsyically painful for Lee to run slow enough to keep up with me. So maybe it'd be better if we just ran it together. There's not a lot of good races going on (to the best of my knowledge) after you're home but we could always do one in the spring! There's a 5K through the Zoo in the spring which seems awesome, although hilly and possibly smelly, but still, it's through the Zoo!
