Hi, My Name is

Grace...well, not really. Those of you who have known me since I was Sarabeth will probably agree that I have never been that graceful. Yes, many of you encouraged me to dance and even lied and told me I was good at it, but truly, I have never been graceful. The older I get the more apparent this becomes to me. Wes is doing an amazing job training for the half marathon. Me, not so much.

I am not a runner, I have never been a runner, I have never enjoyed running. Even in gym class at Prep I would always be sick the day we ran. Fortunately the gym teacher was oblivious and never noticed that I was not on the track. However, I wanted Wes and I to do something together, so we are trying running. Well, I don't like it any more than I did when I was younger. The thing is I am not enjoying the heat at all. I don't enjoy sweating and running produces that, but I am fine sweating doing my videos. See, I lost all that weight (way back when) by doing my exercise videos. I may have to return to those just as an effort to increase my cardio health. The situation worsens though.....

I have hurt my knee. It feels a lot better and I have tried doing the Wii with a bum knee, but I am not the fastest walker, much less runner. So, tonight will be my first night back on the trail. I am going to stay on the flat land. The odd thing is I hurt my knee at work. Now, I am a hard worker, but teller work does not require you to hurt your knee to the point of not being able to move. So, training resumes today. Trenton will probably go with Wes and I will have Baxter on flat land...our little puppy can't keep up with Wes.

Training continues and I will someday discover my graceful side. For now I am just hopeful Trenton has a little more of it than I do!
