Doing Life

Jen and I are running the Crescent City Classic. There, I said it, now we have to do it. I feel better about it already. More importantly, we are "Doing Life", like this guy. He is awesome and inspiring. Reading his blog, watching his video, and seeing him all over TV and on active.com. has been super motivating. He just decided to do something and did it. I have been starting to run more and more and quite possibly, I am catching the fever. It is addictive when you start running and you get better and better at it because you want to run more and farther and faster and you can’t wait until your next run. I want to get back to that point. I was there right after Jen and I got married, running the lakes after work, entering 5K races...I was addicted.

It certainly isn't easy with a newborn, but now that Ben is sleeping longer, I want to get back to a good running routine and working out consistently. Jen and I have been making the time to let each other get out to run or go to they gym or whatever. It isn't always easy or convenient, but we are making it happen. Today was day #1 of getting back to the gym in the morning (I have only been one other morning since Ben was born). Needless to say, 5am was pretty early...but I know it gets easier.
