almost the greatest show on earth

this past friday night, the circus was here in Frisco, though it wasn't the famous Ringling Brothers Circus, it was definitely worth the 11 dollars! My favorite part of the show was the elephants, i just love those things, they always look like they need a hug or just someone to go up to them and start talking baby talk...i do realize i just took my love for elephants to whole other level =)

Anyway, danny has finally persuaded me to start working out at 5 in the morning and so tomorrow is day 1, im really not that excited about it but he has somewhat promised that if i work out with him then he will start running with me. I use to run cross country when I was in high school and I really have been missing it lately. Ive always had a secret desire to run a marathon but I dont want to sound too cliche, if that makes since only because it seems like its one of those things that "everyones doing". My friend Nicki is a now a runner and reading about her determination to run marathons has inspired me to do somewhat the same.  A couple of girls I work with also participate in races on weekends rather it be to support a charity of some sort or to reach a goal they've been working for.  I quit cross country when I was a senior in high school, the only thing i ever quit, well besides softball but i had much better reasons for that, its just not normal to want to bat with your entire catchers equipment on due to being scared of the ball.  Anyway, i quit cross country because of a couple of reasons, one because it wasn't a cool sport and other kids would yell "run forest run" another reason is because i got really tired of just...running. I wasnt running for anyone or anything...I was just running and wheres the fun in that? But now, I wanna run to reach a goal of running a full marathon, knowing this will probably take me years to get to...i hope one day i can and that my husband will run with me =)

I realize that I completely just got off topic here but just wanted to keep you updated on our lives =) okay okay okay...heres the circus pictures!!

  1. YAY Amber!!!! Running has been such a great way for me to exercise... I've lost 10 pounds since January! :) And it's such a great feeling when you accomplish a lot of miles. You're at a huge advantage with having run before! You'll be surprised at how soon you'll show progress. I know that feeling of it being cliche or like everyone's suddenly training for a half-marathon, but so what?! I say, "the more the merrier!" and those who really stick with it will outlast some of the bandwagon runners! ;) Good luck with running in the morning. I know it's hard to fit it in when you're working an 8 - 5. Keep me updated!!!!
