I have decided to start running. I have some ladies in my neighborhood that have been running together, so I figure if I am going to run with them. I have to actually start running. One of my friends has amazing book with this week plan carefully made and tested to make running easy by building up. They swear by it so I decided to do it. Wish me luck! Oh, and I swore I would not become one of those crazy psycho chicks that does zumba religiously, but I will be starting zumba on Wednesdays, going once a week. Just away from the kids, some music, some friends, and an hour of exercise all in one.
