Those Bad Mother Runners

I just went for a GREAT walk with Oliver. It was so fantastic! I always feel so good when I do but today I feel like I got a great work out in because I found this awesome new trail. We have a lot of cool stuff within walking distance of our house. I found this great walkway meant for walking, jogging, bike riding and it goes between two great parks and a bunch of shops (one of which has delicious frozen yogurt although I had none today).

Today on my walk I went into a shop called Fleet Feet it is a store for runners and they sell shoes specifically fitted for your type of feet. It is a great little shop. I went in there to see if they had any pedometers so I can keep track of how many calories I am burning on my walks. He said they would have some in like two weeks. I just looked around for a minute.

Man. Runners are so inspiring arn't they? That store made me want to be a runner so bad! They are so fit and so energized. They have the greatest most fit looking bodies. They have the greatest athletic wear. (come on ladies your were thinking it!) I mean the little tennis kind of skirts or the sports bras and little shorty shorts they run in. They had this one shirt that said 'Bad Mother Runner" on it. I wanted it. I want to be a Bad Mother Runner. =)

That store really energized me and made me want to keep up with my goals and get a real good routine going. Who knows. Maybe once I can keep up with walking every day I will start running. The guy at the store said just to start really slow. Run for two minutes and walk for three. Then run for two minutes and walk for three. So that is my goal. I am going to go for a walk every day before work. And if that gets to be hard because of how crazy our mornings already are then I will switch to evenings.

Ahh what a great day. And now Oliver is screaming at me to pay attention to him. ♥

Love to you!
