Brenden the business man

I'm so proud of Brenden. We have 6 inches of snow and he's out shoveling other people's driveways for $5. Last night he came to us and asked if he could do that because he wants to earn some money to buy some video game things so we said yes, of course. I'm happy he's taking the iniative to earn money of his own. He's in for it now.....I see mowing in his near future!

I finished up my third week of running training with 1.5 miles every day totaling 7.5 miles for this week. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm really proud of myself for staying committed to it this time and I never want to stop. I've come very far by not letting myself stop when I get tired, or not even get on the treadmill when I'm tired, as well as running when maybe I have a bit of pain in my knee. That happened again today in the beginning of my run so I slow down my pace and go slower and it works itself out in a few minutes. The old Julie would have quit and said I have to rest my knee for like say a month LOL! I'm not saying I wanna run marathons right now but I would like to run a 1/2 marathon in a year or two. A 1/2 is 13 miles. I'm finding out about myself that what I set my mind to I can and WILL do! Go Me!
