What did Katie Do?

Today is day three of my workout. I am happy to report that I am still going strong. Thanks to my good buddy LJ our fast walk was 45 minutes with a mix of up hill and down Hill terrain. However, temptation got the best of me after the eight o'clock hour when the baby finally fell a sleep. What do you know? An hour later I will be pulling a Chocolate Chip cookie Pie out of my over. Can you say, "Got milk"? or maybe I will  and should be saying, " Got a treadmill"? I also should be saying which one of these things aren't the same? After mixing the dough and putting the pie together I looked over and this is what I found.

All of my Early Intervention friends will be very proud of my amazing matching skills. However, I am hoping my all amazing cooking powers will allow me to devour something delicious.However, those powers are very hit and miss. 

Before: just putting it into the oven



What did Katie Do?

Yesterday I started my workout. I was able to walk for ten minutes on the treadmill and actually was able to run 1.5 miles without stopping. Overall it took me about 30 minutes running speed was about 3.5. I felt so slow but was so proud of myself that I could actually run.
 Today after work I was excited and thought to myself that today would be as easy as yesterday. However, running on the road was a different experience. When I started running I heard a fast clicking noise behind me I jump. In the back of my mind all I could think of was car. It didn't occur to me that it wasn't a car because it was moving too fast. As I stopped to look two antelope zoomed past me to get to the farm field east of me. It was kind of exciting to me the baby didn't seem too impressed. My run turned into a fast twenty minute walk due to my bladder. So lesson learned. A treadmill is actually kinder to your knees and bladder than an actual road.

Okay so my goal is to lose 10 pounds of baby weight that I have left over. I have picked three 5k's to run this summer. I have this secret desire to be a runner, so I guess now is as good as anytime to start. However, getting started has been so hard. Jared Levi has been sick with Bronchitis and Utah weather is.....ummm well...Utah weather. You don't like it wait five minuets and it will change.
 Monday is my big starting day. I have found two places I can start to walk/practice running and bonus my mom has a treadmill.  This means if the weather is bad Monday I still have a place to run.
My first goal is to do the 5 k for Lehi's Round up day, June 25 Th, July 9th Haiti's Kids at Sugar House park and than one in Aug 27 in Liberty Park. I found a running schedule that may work for me, hopefully. Cross your fingers and hope for good weather. I will blog about the first run on Monday.

In many ways lifes little adentures define us as people. Personally I feel challenges, trials and triumphs mold us into the person we seek to become. However, I wonder sometimes if we let the population tell us who we are, because of the role we carry in life. I have a four month old son, live in Utah County and work full time. So what does that make me?  This blog hopefully will be a journal that follows my lifes little adventures in an exciting self discovery. Overall I am excited to try something new and well, this is something I have never done before.
