Turning my Family Active

I think I just have too much excitement that Brian and I ran together. I was inviting him 6 years ago. I was running on and off- there is no proper motivation. I was a mountain climber before I got married. I maintain my weight. When I see myself that I am gaining weight and I know I will end up of having diabetes. It runs in my family and if I am not careful then I can't escape with it. Today, I bought pairs of running shoes for Ben and Mary and also a wicking outfit. The kids were excited with their new outfit. I even bought Ben's outfit with a green hint cause he likes green. Mary always likes pink. On Sunday, we will do our long run. We will run as long as we want. It was really great that we joined the the 4 mi for the 4th Fun Run. Brian finished around 36 minutes and I did finished about 48 minutes. This month, there is 5k run and we will run again. That is after we climb Mt Fuji. So happy... I am an outgoing person and love nature. This is it. This is what I want to my family getting involve with an outdoor activities. I am so thankful for that.

Joining the 4 of the 4th Yokosuka Base Japan

Brian and I started to train for marathon, there is no specific when we gonna join the marathon but we are determine to join as soon as there is one. I was looking for runners group and found one in Gig Harbor, not too far to drive from Belfair. I am so excited to come home in the states. Brian is being motivated during the event here in the base- "The wounded warrior". He thought that he does not want to leave his family early. He has high cholesterol and even taking a blood pressure medicine. I invited him before, that was six years ago. Myself, I have no interest of running in a fun run or a marathon but I just wanna run just to keep myself healthy. Honestly, I ran on and off. It is not continued, I just don't have any motivation. I saw a few of my friends running 5k or even 10k and saw their bib number hanging on their shirt. I always have a thought "It should be I have that kind of number too". When this thing gonna be happening. My first try is to join the 4-4th Fun Run, it is 4 miles running here inside the base which is sponsored by the Navy Fitness. When I was running with Brian during my training. I run 1.5 miles without walking, that impressed me. I finished line with 47 minutes and 48 seconds. Believed me! I am so proud with it. I was so happy that I made a little accomplishment.
