Starting Somewhere

So, as I mentioned earlier I am not a runner. I get really bad shin splints and I have no endurance. I can't even run a mile without passing out. I need to slowly build up my endurance and so I plan on running as long as I can starting today and each day increase it by a minute or two. I know that sounds pathetic, but I gotta start somewhere. 

As far as my diet goes, I need to make some major changes. I have a HUGE sweet tooth. Mostly cookies, but I love all sweets. It's really going to be hard for me to cut out sugar but I need to try. Any healthy recipes would really help. I'll update you all on my status at the end of the week.

Blog list

So I finally added all of our blogs to the side, so we can get to know eachother better. If I've added anybody who DOES NOT want to be there, just let me know. Also, if I've missed someone, send me your blog link again. I think I've only missed Hannah, because I don't know yours, and Shellie (my mom) because she doesn't have one.

I'm at home still, and doing...hmm...we'll say OKAY. I'm fine exercising, but my brother's homecoming yesterday was a little tough. There were cookies EVERYWHERE! ALL DAY LONG! I'm starting strong today though, and I think I'm going to go running with James' sister who is going to be running a half marathon in 2 weeks. Amazing huh. She usually runs about 3 miles a day, and then builds up on Saturdays. Last Saturday she went 9 miles. I can't even imagine! Anyway, I'll catch up to ya later! Hope you're all doing well as we end up the Summer!
