is there hope..?

So i asked my friend who runs marathons almost monthly for some running tips. Here is what she told me to do to start. ...

# Before you start your workouts, make sure you warm up properly by walking for 5-10 minutes. You should always end your workout with a cooldown.
# Week one: Walk for 6 minutes, then jog at an easy pace for 1 minute. Repeat 3 times. Aim for three sessions with that same sequence for week one.
# Week two: Walk for 5 minutes, then jog for 2 minutes. Repeat 3 times. Aim to do three sessions in week two.
# Week three: Walk for 3 minutes, then jog for 4 minutes. Repeat 4 times. Aim for four sessions in week three.
# Week four: Walk for 2 minutes, then jog for 5 minutes. Repeat 4 times. Shoot for four of those sessions in week four.
# Week five: Walk for 2 minutes, then jog for 8 minutes. Repeat 3 times. Do four of those sessions in week five.
# Week six: Walk for 2 minutes, then jog for 9 minutes. Repeat 3 times. Try to do four sessions for week six.
# Week seven: Walk for 1 minute, then jog for 11 minutes. Repeat 3 times. Do four sessions this week.
# Week eight: Congratulations on making it to week eight! For your first run this week, try walking for 5 minutes to begin and end the workout, and run for 20 minutes in between. By the end of the week, try to run for 30 minutes without stopping.

Crafty and domestic...

So I am not the typical girlie girl, I would much rather be playing sports or camping, hunting, fishing, riding four wheelers etc.. then being all cute and crafty. Most of the girls in my extended family are very creative and crafty and usually my sister and i just talk about how fun it would be to have that kind of talent. but alas everything has a season, and yesterday we were crafty.... thanks to a new friend of mine... lol. anyway here is some pictures of what we did.
