I haven't told very many people, but I'm running the Teton Dam Half Marathon in 2 weeks. I started running in February, did Insanity in March and April, then started running more seriously starting in May. I'll admit, I'm slow. But, I know that if I keep it up my pace will pick-up. Right now I'm running 4 days a week with 1 day of cross training. I usually only run 3-5 miles, then on Saturdays I run 8-11 miles.
Anyway, it's hard. I'm slow. But I really want to accomplish something grand in life, and this is my first step (well, besides getting married, having a beautiful family, and being sealed to my family for all eternity). I've decided that if I can do it, anyone can.
And how's the weight loss going?? I tried Insanity and ended up gaining a flipping 7 pounds. Retarded. But, I did increase my push-ups from a whopping 2 when I started to 25 when I ended. With running, however, I've lost 2 pounds. I need to lose about 12 more to be at the weight I was when I got married. However, I was only 19 when I got married, and I have had 2 kids since then... not sure if 10 pounds is in the cards for me, but whatever. Running is a great and fun activity and I currently have a perfect blood pressure score. Plus, I've almost got the latest Glee soundtrack memorized already. So even if I don't lose any weight, I'm still doing it.

Dustin's Gun Fund
Dustin has been in love with some fancy gun that he says is "the finest piece of weaponry known to mankind." It's an M1A. About 2 months ago he started a gun fund (a jar that says "Gun Fund" with a pic of the M1A on it) and has been saving up money via selling plasma. I'm so proud of him, after his Birthdaya week ago, he's successfully saved up $630! I'll admit, I didn't think he could do it, but he's proving me wrong. For being unemployed and finding other various sources of income for this fund, he's doing a great job. The gun is $1499 brand new, and about $1000 used, so he still has a little bit to go. I'm just so proud of him!
And BTW- my last post was aimed at noone who reads my blog. There was a bit of discrepancy about it, and I just wanted to officially clear it up!
