Sore knees. Sore ankles. Bruised feet. Blisters on multiple toes. Tendonitis.
All worth it. My philosophy--no pain, no gain.
Running, my new passion. 2 miles, 3 miles, even 5 or 6--it's all the same to me- just getting my fix. I wonder if I should train for something? At what point do I actually get to call myself a runner? I set a personal goal to be able to run multiple miles in under 9 minutes each--today I accomplished that goal (with help from my handy nike+ which I used for the first time today and LOVED)--Average speed of 8.22 minutes per mile. Can I call myself a runner yet?

Ha HA!!! Yes you may call yourself a runner now!!! WOWSA!!! Thats awesome!!
YES YES YOU ARE A RUNNER!! You go girl :-)!!!
Haha I would for sure call you a runner!! I wish I liked to run but I hate it so I will most likely never be able to call myself a runner!! I hope you are enjoying Florida!!
That is so awesome Layla! I decided to start running about a month ago. My sisters in law go two or three times early in the morning to Cottonwood high school to run the track and the bleachers. Yeah the first day I could only run around once. My goal was to RUN a mile, and on my third time I did it! It's weird, I totally love running (me and all of my 1-3 miles), but I'm still slow, so I haven't hit the official title of "runner" yet. Also I haven't had any blisters, sore knees or ankles or anything. Guess I need to work on the pain part of the "no pain no gain". : )
PS- Have you ever heard of P90X? TOTALLY kicks your butt!! Love it! Also - how is the humidity down there? The beaches look gorgeous!
I officially thrown upon you Runner Layla! Great Job Girl!
Runner Queen you are...and my idol as well, I wish I had your motivation...I seem to always have exericse @ the bottom of my to-do-list and sad to say IT NEVER GET'S DONE! I'm guaranteed I could make time to eat up all that yummy frozen yogurt you found there though! :-) I'm jealous you have that beautiful beach so near! Aaron's from there n I love FL! Your hubby's doing awesome as well! And yes I LOVE JUICY STUFF...can't get enough! :-D
yeah i think you can definitely call yourself a runner!! that is awesome!!
josh won't run with me either, no matter how much i beg him! i am wanting to run the top of utah half marathon here in logan in mid-august. i'm hoping that i can actually train as much as i need to with school and 2 jobs this summer. we'll see. what race are you planning on running? when you get back, we should run one down south like in st george or something! ps- i'm sad we weren't able to see you guys while we were in florida... it was too hard being on the opposite side of the state from you! maybe we'll just have to come out again!
I have a nike plus too! We need to become buddies and challenge each other!! It sounds like you are having a blast in Florida. Sorry we missed you!! I sure love ya!
