Yay for me!!
Not much to say, but I had a personal best today on the treadmill. In the normal time it takes me to do a mile, I was able to do 1.5 miles! I know, not exciting for most, but for me it was a major accomplishment coming from someone who used to hate to run. I'm now running at a faster speed too which I never thought that would. I just have to remember to keep it slow and steady so I don't mess up my knee. I can already feel it starting to ache as I increase the intensity :(....

Blah, blah, blah
It's been a while since I've done anything on here. It's been a crazy busy summer so far... Here's a few updates:
1. It's been almost two months since we've been in our house. We're just now finally finishing up the rest of the boxes and starting to get things organized. And just recently I've hung up our first thing on the wall. It's a small mirror, but I have to figure out just where everything should go. That will take me forever, but we will get there....
2. The kids will be home probably on Thursday. It's been a nice long break (almost three weeks), but it will be nice to have them home. I talked with my mom yesterday and was really upset by the time I got off the phone. The kids are having a great time, but some of the things she said really struck a cord with me. I am extremely grateful to her for all of her help, however I don't see everything as rosey as she does. We didn't have the best relationship in the world growing up-she would tell you otherwise, but I try. I try giving the benefit of the doubt all the time, but most always I am proven wrong. I am just glad the kids had a good time.
3. I am getting back into the fitness thing once again. I know, I go in phases, but it feels so natural this time around. I've still been doing my jaunts and continuing my love affair with the treadmill and it's getting better everyday. I think by taking it slowly this time, it's been easier getting back into it. If I don't feel like running, I don't because I won't be productive. Hopefully I will start to see some payoff soon. (A set of "12-pack abs would be fabulous!!! )Even if I don't I at least feel better and it's great for just forgetting about life for a few moments...
