Jogging on Purpose?

Um, I just jogged on purpose, really for the first time EVER in my life without anyone telling me too. I have memories of being in elementary school and our gym teacher Mr. Baggot (yes, his name got made fun of pretty big time) making us "Run the Mile". I was ALWAYS dead last and ALWAYS walked most of it. I was one of the only kids who didn't get that stupid (and yes I'm reverting back to elementary behavior here) Presidential Fitness award.

Since getting the treadmill on February 18, I have only missed one morning of using it (the night before, Faith had, let's just say, major stomach issues of several types and we had been up quite a bit). Today was the 3rd day in a row that I used one of the 16 pre-installed programs. It's set for 30 mins and I made it 20 mins (the last 10 I kinda set my own, easier incline and speed). But the last 2 of those 20 I had to jog. It was a weird sensation. Hm.

Matt told me yesterday that he's lost about 20 lbs now. Pretty amazing. And I can tell by looking at him now. Pretty cool.

Kids are all doing well. We go Thurs. night for Faith's kindergarten registration. I have very very mixed emotions about this, which I'm sure I'll share more of at a later date. Mari's crazy and fun as ever. She still LOVES preschool and music class. The babies are well, too. They are getting so big -- a few weeks ago at their 9 mo. physical, they were about 21 lbs ea. Hannah's about 4 oz heavier than Robby but is an inch shorter. She's got an adorably fat little belly. Robby is "THIS" close to pulling himself up.

That's all for now. Steph
