Working Out

So my Mom came a couple weekends ago to spread her positive attitude and zest for life. Along with which I went running with her, and decided I LOVE it! So since then I have decided I will run a 5K with Jolene and go from there to see if maybe I would want to do a 10K or something. But I have been running outside as often as I can, with my supportive husband (who watches the kiddos when he is home)at my side. I am excited about this new hobby, and found some new workout clothes at Old Navy today. Nothing gets me jazzed about working out like new workout clothes!
