i tried it - running

Last night Ben, Evey, and I went over to Mom and Doug's and did our first "training"/running on the treadmill. It went well. I ran for 20 minutes and felt really, pretty good. I was tired when I was done, and today I'm a little sore. (Dave, if you're reading this, you might be thinking "add some inverted pushups girl, and I bet you'll be running for hours before you know it.") And, 20 minutes is the most I've ever ran. I think, EVER.

I feel really good about getting focused on exercise again. This has already been a long winter, and being able to go to and move our butts felt really good. And, what a good example for Evey. Ben and I are making this a priority. Good stuff, people.

Nice work Sis! 20 minutes is great! Look at you go. How was Ben's knee?

I sent the running book earlier this week, but I did it by media mail so it might not get there until next week.

Heather, the funny thing about it is that you made it look pretty easy, except for your red face when you were finished. I am proud of everyone for working to get in shape. And thank you, Hannah, for getting our kitchen in the condo in better shape too.

Love you,
Mom
p.s. I think Ben W. may need a little encouragement to get some physical exercise, but maybe he is secretly using the treadmill when I am still at work.

Heather, I'm proud of you for running 20 minutes!!! I don't even do that very often. Most of my running comes from playing b-ball. From the sounds of it, most of the Webster/Sather family can out run me now. And no offense, but I honestly never thought I'd see that day. Don't get me wrong though...It's definitely a good thing and I'm proud of all of you for making this effort to better yourselves. Keep it up Heather, and everyone else!
