One of the goals I made for myself was to try to exercise five times a week for a month. I knew it was ambitious…but I figured a challenge would get me moving more. So I attempted this goal beginning in February…and the first week things went well.
But then the blizzard struck.
And that kind of made things difficult…I’m not one for running in the snow and cold, and I couldn’t even get to my gym. Traveling to Texas and Las Vegas didn’t help matters, though I can’t say I didn’t enjoy the break. So, now I’m trying to start things up again, and I’m running out of excuses!
I even bought a new pair of running shoes to get me excited about the half-marathon (and to ease my aching knees!). Still, it’s hard to make the time to exercise five days a week.
Can I count shooting a wedding as exercise? I think I’m going to…
So, what get’s you moving? I need some motivation!

tangie - Keep thinking about how awesome it is going to be to cross that half marathon finish line!!! It is such an incredible feeling to know you actually did it!! I struggle very much being motivated to run, which is part of the reason I registered to run a half last year, and I really was surprised how easy (easier than I thought it would be…) it was to add a mile about every week to my run. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! IT WILL BE SO WORTH IT!!! I’m trying to gear up to training again for another… 🙂
Ashley - Mary!! You should try a Zumba class. I just started going and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! you dont even know that your exercising (ALOT) you can feel it the next day, but its soo fun while your doing it!
Oh and I had a suggestion for a new post – I’d like to know about flashes… I have a 580exII and no clue how to use it properly 🙂
