Back on the Treadmill!

I started out the day attempting to work out for the first time in...well a long time. The workout started with a good stretch-reminding me of how not flexible I am these days. Then I started the battle with the treadmill that I have never won. This was also my first attempt at running since I tore my ACL in January. I was feeling a little tired after running only 3/4 of a mile (but the knee was feeling good) when Ayden started fussing-although I could have continued running-I was glad to have an excuse to stop. The workout continued with lots of sit ups (post pregnant belly), push ups, lunges and more stretching. Man am I out of shape! I am considering running a half marathon-the last time I had this plan I made it to 7 miles and then my running buddies bailed on me for various reasons-again-glad to have an excuse to quit. So the attempt begins again. I wonder if people who are not runners can ever be runners or am I destined to just giving it a good try every few months?

Happy Halloween! We went to a friend's Halloween party on Saturday night which was a lot of fun. Last year at this same party Kipp and I dressed up as the Incredibles and we won the costume contest. This year we could not come up with a good idea until the very last minute. We went as Dwight and Angela from one of our favorite shows The Office. Those of you who tune in your televisions on Thursday nights for this comedy know that Angela has an ill cat named Sprinkles who Dwight took it on himself to put him out of his misery. So he put him in the freezer to help him move on to the next of his nine lives. We needed a costume for Ayden-so a dead Sprinkles he was. He looked adorable with a little nose and whiskers painted on. Kipp made a great Dwight and me not such a great Angela. I had a horrible wig-plus that fact that I look nothing like her...but it was fun none the less. We got a good laugh from everyone and came in second in the contest. Not too shabby. I am an idiot though and left the camera at home. If we dress up again I will post some pics.
