Ahhhhhh, glorious exercise!

I have really enjoyed my recent visitors to our house here in Utah. Part of the reason I think I enjoyed it so much was the fact that when people are here it seems that diet and exercise rules don't apply. Is that a universal rule?? Anyway, I was feeling a little burned out before the visits, and now I feel inspired and dedicated.....of course today was day #1! I took the kids to the rec center and worked over the elliptical runner for 35 minutes and then I held a meeting or the running club and I ran 3 - 1.5 mile laps (4.5 miles total). It felt great to get out in the fresh air, and now I look forward to tomorrow and the next day! I even checked out some races on Active.com,
which is a great site to see local races in your area, but couldn't find much I was really interested in. I am still kicking around the idea of doing a marathon, but I can't really make up my mind for sure.
