Fall!!!!

It's  here! I woke up to a chilling 40-something degrees and I LOVE IT. I've got chili (low fat of course) in the crockpot, warm bread in the oven, and firewood for our fireplace. I'm in heaven.

This week has been interesting. Monday night I went walking and decided to run a little bit. 30 minutes later I was doubled over with stomach cramps. Turns out I picked up this stomach bug that's been going around and lucky for me, I was half way around our lake when it decided to hit me. Fun times.

I stayed home Tuesday and used all my weight watcher points on saltine crackers and ginger ale. Wednesday I was back to eating good and walking/running. I really enjoy running now. Well, I guess 'jogging' would be more accurate. I dont think anyone will ever see me sprinting down the lake trail, unless someone is behind me with a knife. Or there's a tarantula on the path. The only problem is I have these shoes that are specifically for walking. When I try jogging in them, I get shin splints. So why not buy running shoes? Because we are on a budget and it's just not in the cards right now. I have some old New Balance sneakers that i'm going to try today. I'm not sure why I even stopped wearing them. I hope I won't find out.
