"Sweat is fat crying"

Since I have been married, life has been been pretty busy. I've been working. Adrian is getting settled in his new job, which he is loving so far. I feel like my house is finally coming together. I have a few things hung up which really makes a big difference to me. We get our wedding pictures this week and I am anxious t to see what Whitney has come up with. If working with kids wasn't her true passion, her second one would be photography, that girl has got it. She has been sending me "sneak peeks" to get feed my anxiety, I can  NOT wait to see them. I know I will spend all my extra money on Shutterfly this weekend.

For the past three weeks, I have been spending a lot of time at  the gym. Yes, you read that correctly. Scotti Leigh Miles (I love seeing, hearing, and writing my new name.) has joined the gym. Anna, aka Sister, begged me forever to the join in off season of soccer to "stay in shape." But really looking back, when you are 18 are you ever really out of shape? I played some time of sport my whole life, so working out came with it. But it was more mandatory then voluntary.

A. has been getting shape to pass his CPAT so I thought I would join with him. I am not doing his CPAT work outs though. I run and do some weights. I started running on the treadmill and then running outside when it wasn't ninedegreeshotterthanhell  too hot. I only ran outside two times in past two weeks. This week, I've ran outside 3 times. It was an eye opener. Pretty much what I can do on the treadmill I can barely do half outside, on the pavement. I was pretty discouraged. I've been getting some advice some of friends who run about 7 miles a day. Ok, well one friend runs 7 miles a day and the others aren't far behind him. My neighborhood is a good mix of flat roads and not so flat roads. There are 2 hills that will be the death of me. I will get in through it though.

I made a collage, whichtookforeverandIdon'tevenlikeit, of some of things I use and like while running.

From right to left.

1. The Color Run is coming back to Memphis in October and I plan on rocking it out.

2. My Tervis Tumbler water bottle. We all know I love my Tervis' but this is perfect when working out.

3. Nike Free's. I got the 4.0 cushion level. They are the best running shoes I've had.

4. Nike Plus App. This neat little app keeps up with everything. And when you run outside it keeps up with you via GPS. 

5. The Elvis Presley Run & Walk will be my first official 5k. It will start and end in front of Graceland. 

6. I love to run in my comfort color tank top. I wish I could find more. Running in the south, in the summer time is HOT! Staying cool and hydrated is a must!
