I have recently taken up jogging. Why? To get back in shape, of course. Honestly, I don't know that I've ever been "IN" shape...but I do know that I am currently "OUT" of shape, indeed. I could blame it on school, marriage, kids, weather, fear of bear maulings and a hangnail, but the truth is I don't like to push myself...therefore, I don't (not physically, anyway). However, with being home with the boys more, I don't have the cloud of guilt looming overhead like I did before whenever I had considered taking a little time to work out. So, after completing day 2:
My butt hurts...
My shins hurt...
...and I now believe my surgeon when he told me I have "very little elasticity" and I "scar well". I think I can feel that scar all the way through.
So, I have vowed to do this 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week and we'll see if this ol' body can gain a little tone. If you happen to be driving around Nikiski and see a pathetic heap of blonde in the ditch, please pick her up and bring her home. Her boys miss her.

You'll be running half marathons before you know it!
Oooooh...I don't know about that...but thanks for the vote of confidence!
YEAH! Great Job! If you walk backwards on your heels before you run for a little bit it will take care of those shin splints.
