HEY PEEPS! {Do these pants make my butt look big?}


Weight.
It's not a beautiful thing.
I've gained some.
And
lost some.

Friday I {slogged} slow jog 5.7 miles.
I love to jog.
Really, I do.

It's gonna be awhile before I'm back up to speed.
(There may be some increase in activity on the Richter Scale caused by my jogging.)

This was my view.

I love that I can go a few blocks from my house and have this kind of view.

The snow didn't even bug me much.

Then I get into civilization.

Most beautiful view.
(Seriously 1 minute from my house!)
I remember when this was just an alalfa field.

Hopefully I'll increase my speed.
Hopefully I'll decrease my time.
Hopefully the snow will be gone soon.
Hopefully my butt will shrink!

    I wish I could get into running. That would be so good for me, but it is just not in me. I also have a fear of my weak ankles twisting or snapping in two. Enjoy your jog!

    I don't slog, jog, or run. Sometimes swalk (slow walk).
    (I made that word up)

    but I do give high-fives for people that are better than me when it comes to any kind of exercising. Good job!

    Enjoy watching conference :) sorry you had to miss it due to work.

    I think joining me by eating some pepperoni out of a bag, will help.

    I think I've done 5.7 miles... if you add up every time I've run in the past ten years... or so...

    I'm in this same boat--butt too big and slogging through my old routines. It's hard to believe I've run two marathons. That body is so in the past. Sigh.

    Did I read that right? 5.7 miles! My dear friend, you rock! Your butt will not only shrink, you'll have the body of a 20 year old!
    What beautiful scenery! Beats running on an old treadmill even on a cold, snowy, day!

    Oh man, where can I get me some panties like that!?

    And I'm impressed you brought your camera on your slog!!

    At least you slog! I'm more of a falker. (fast walker)

    But that word just sounds wrong, you know?

    Thank goodness for jogging! I cannot jog though, all I get from it is a sore back and a rd face! But..I can walk about as fast as some joggers jog..and I really need to get out there everyday! Beautiful view there at the end! ;D

    Way to go! I hope to at least walk this Spring. You sure have some pretty views there.

    I've walked your route and it is so beautiful. I am so glad I can visit your blog when I'm feeling a little homesick!

    Keep it up, and when the weather turns and you don't care to slog in the snow, I love Leslie Sansone, "Walk Away the Pounds." A couple of her 3 to 5 mile workouts helped me with my exercise goals while in the burg.

    You make me laugh about the weather here. It's much more mild, Friday was like 72 degrees. We are experiencing a blustery Spring; rainy, gray and light winds, not just sun!!!

    Nice to have some beautiful views when you are out "slogging"--love the word ; )

    Good for you getting out and running--I love it. 5.7 miles is not an easy run--way to go.

    No wonder the peeps panties are so small--5.7 miles is much. I'd have to crawl home. Ah, Idaho. I love the vistas.

  21. BarbalootApril 5, 2011 at 8:22 AM

    Wow---5.7!! There's gonna be some serious shrinkage if that's the mileage you're putting in:)

    Love the view. I'm more of a treadmill runner...but I might be persuaded to go outside if I had such a peaceful-looking place to run.

    Hey, I have started slogging too. Mostly walking w/ a slog here and there. Hopefully I will shrink a little.

  23. VernApril 5, 2011 at 10:59 AM

    I only did a little over 2 miles this morning and about passed out. 5.7 is what I'm working UP to! You're an inspiration!

    I wouldn't mind doing a little butt shrinking of my own, especially if I could do it while enjoying a view like yours!

    You are too awesome. I'm with Furry Bottoms - no running for me. Plus I'm large chested and well, no one needs to see that amount of bounce. Very nice scenery!

    Gorgeous, that pic of the temple. Maybe it would inspire me to slog. I hate running. I'm sure I don't like slogging too. Good on you though. Good luck with it!
