Aww MUSIC.

Two posts in one day, is that a bad thing?? Please tell me if I need to stop posting so much and if I am boring you!!!!

This posting is a little sappy and sad sorry.......

Those of you who really know me know how much I love MUSIC! I don't think i'm a very emotional person never cry reading a book, have only cried in one movie (Charly) but take me to a Broadway musical (most recently The Lion King) and you can pretty much bet that the minute the music starts, I will start! I don't know what it is probably the power and the strength of the orchestra not to mention the voices or maybe the fact that I want to be the one up on the stage singing.

Today when I was out running,I was running with tears in my eyes trying not to go into a full on break down. You see, the song Friends by Michael W. Smith (i'm probably the only person in the world that can exercise to a ballad or love song) came on my IPOD and it got me thinking about Kimmy & Katie's friend who passed away, way to young and then I preceded to think about Brandon. I truly don't know what I would ever do without him. And I probably don't show or tell him enough how much I love him and how much I appreciate all he does for the kids and I.

This is how music effects me. It gets me thinking and you can pretty much bet that anytime you come to my house, you will hear MUSIC,MUSIC,MUSIC but next time I go running, I will probably change the song if it makes me want to cry!!!

(Friends should be playing now. If you don't know it, take a minute and listen to the words!)

It's amazing!

When we moved to Ohio, I purposely didn't want to get a gym membership. You see, I am not a runner. Never have been but I'm not going to say I never will be! So, I decided I didn't want to get a gym membership because after working out 5-6 days a week for 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day for the last 3 1/2 years, I knew that I wouldn't stop just because I didn't have the membership and it would force me to run. Now what is so amazing, is how fast our bodies can adapt to something new. I started running the end of August and on Sept. 27th I ran 3 miles non-stop which is the furthest I have ever gone without stopping (sad I know) but I was pretty proud of myself!! The next amazing thing is how fast your body can get out of shape if you stop exercising. After taking a brief hiatus from running for the last 3 months I have started again and i'm so sad to say that over the last week I have not even been able to make it up the street without stopping. I never thought that I would be so out of shape but I guess I chose it. Anyway, I'm back at it and maybe I'll even take Aprils challenge and run a marathon!!
