I am so super excited! A new pair of shoes to run/walk in were on my "to-get" list for next month! Saucony just saved us $100 (which I would have never paid for- I would have gotten a pair of Sauconys for less than $50. Hubbie only runs in Sauconys)!
So, next on my list "to-get" is a really good running bra and a jogging stroller. A double jogging stroller is something we've debated on for about a year. We never knew if we'd use it to get our money's worth. With my goal to run a race with Hubbie this year, a jogging stroller will be a necessity so that I can get out there and start running while Bubbie is at school. I have also stepped my pinky toe into a race very similar to this. A big group of MOPS moms are interested. I am seriously INSANE to even THINK about this! I am probably the HEAVIEST mom on the teams, but I have just quietly raised my hand and said A BIG FAT MAYBE! HA! I am such a neat freak. For me to even THINK about getting dirty and muddy(they warn you to wear several layers because your pants pockets will fill with mud and fall off!) and running a race over 4 miles in less than 4 months is just completely insane... Hubbie was so pumped about it, he got a group of co-workers together to do this race also.
I am super excited about getting out and back into shape! I've done really well the last week or two- using Wii Fit with Bubbie, pilates and walking with the family several times in the last week. Baby Bean really did a number on my body- more than either of the other boys and I have never been this weak or out of shape!
Just gotta start somewhere and move and thanks to Saucony, I am well on my way!

Awesome shoes, congrats! I'm inspired by your attitude. GO FOR IT and keep us posted!
I am so out of shape, too. I just don't like to exercise. Ugh. I drink lots of water and eat well, but I just cannot motivate myself to get moving.
How cool! Congrats on winning the shoes! :) Let me know if you find a good exercise bra...I've yet to find one yet that doesn't cost a million bucks! But...since I don't really do all that much in the way of exercising anyway, it probably doesn't matter much! Way to go on your goal of a race this year -- very exciting!! Good luck!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

How exciting! I'm not familiar w/ those shoes. Comfy?
I think a good sports bra is hard to find. Good Luck!
As for a good jogging stroller, I know they are pricey, but seriously, the BOB is the best I've tried. My brother & sil use that one, and they are regular joggers. SO easy to maneuver. I settled on a the Jeep jogger, but do regret not getting the BOB.
Congrats on winning the shoes. Hope you have luck finding a good sports bra; that is a tough job.
How fun to win new shoes! I have been going back and forth about trying to run. I really don't like it, but everyone keeps telling me I will if I stick with it. Half the battle is a good bra, so if you find one, let me know! :)
