This is for our children...their children...and their children. This is for our family...this is for us!
Originally, this blog was my wife's, but I stole it since she stopped using it. So, now it will be a place for both of us to write and journal our experiences during this journey of getting healthy. For the both of us its more than just losing weight. Yes, we both want to be thin, but more importantly we want to be around for eachother and our children for a long, long time. We want t show our children that it just isn't okay to treat what He gave us so poorly...
We have stopped making excuses and are ready to face the challenge...are you?

Week 7 of Marathon Training

Yep, thats right...I'm on week 7 of 24. which really means I am running T-Th 2-4 miles and Sat is a long run. The mileage will pick up as the weeks go on and I will have to get more creative about my running. Now I can handlebthe treadmill for those short runs, but once I getbup to running 7+ miles during the week the treadmill just wont cut it. It is SO boring. I'm averaging about 10/miles on the treadmill but when running my long runs outside I am much faster- 8:30_9/mile.  Two weeks ago I ran to the next town over, last week I ran to theother town over. Last week I went to the gym after and killed my legs, I walked funny for the next week- it was great.
Jessica is in California right now to celebrate her papa's 70th bday. Adey cakes had ear tube surgery and I've got the kids for 5 days all by myself. After Adey's nap we got out of the house and took a mile hike near by which was really nice- I think we all needed some fresh air. I'm lucky because Jessica pre-made all of our dinners- all i have to do is cook them in the oven for a few. She is so thoughtful.  Anyhow, hopefully I can update ,ore frequently.
Until next time...
