I Think I Can

I just have to say that I LOVE how active people are about posting/commenting on this blog. Eric is constantly teasing me that I love starting blogs, but rarely stay with them. Well, this goes to show him! Maybe it's just the fact that I would rather share a blog with awesome Sawyer sisters than a stinky old husband. Anyway...

I just wanted to record for posterity that I have not exercised so far this year (aside from biking to school this week), and I really wasn't feeling it on Saturday morning. You know that point where you have to decide between working out and showering? And you start thinking, ah, well, it's a bit late to work out anyway; I should just get ready for the day? That was me. And then I read Shelby's blog post about feeling better when she exercised. So I got off my fat butt and went on a run around the neighborhood. With the aid of some awesome new running socks (thank you, Brittany and Taylor!), I ran a mile and a half (yes, I know that isn't much) and walked the another mile (I was talking to Shelby on the phone).

Baby steps...I swear half the battle is actually getting myself out the door. Maybe one day I will really love exercising. Until then, I am glad we have this blog.

  1. One day we're not even going to "think" about exercise... right? Just like we don't think about breathing - we're just going to do it.
    Great job getting out there!!!

  2. Tori, I think you do more exercising than you know. You walk or ride your bike all over the place - often with a load of books to carry. I'm proud of you for getting up and running when you didn't want to, but be so careful when running alone. Only on main streets and such. :)
