Forrest Gump


These are my new friends. Shauna took me shoe shopping on Saturday, mostly I think to make fun of the way I run, but really to help me get the right shoes for all the torture she likes to put me through. Really I love it. We then went to the Oval for a 5 mile run, which quickly turned into 3 miles because I wasn't ready to run in these beauties.
I was talking to Chris today and told him they are supposed to last around 400 miles to make him feel better about the price. Then I added, " so they'll last me until the end of May".
That's when reality set in. YIKES! I might run enough in 5 months to equal 400 miles. What am I thinking?
My new mantra will be "RUN EMILY, RUN!"

I do all I can to run as little as possible.

That really is funny...Run, Emily, Run. Sorry, my humor is a little off today. I can't stop laughing. And it's not that funny!

Good for you, Em! What a great example for your family (& friends).

Shauna said...

YEEEEEEEEEHA! I'm so excited! I love your new shoes...I'm considering getting a matching pair for myself. :)

It will be so fun! Love the new shoes and Shauna has offered to take me shopping too! To bad she doesn't pay for 'em huh?

Shoes are so important. I went to a place where they fit me with shoes after measuring everything about my feet. I never thought about how fast shoes wear out. 5 months is very good! Keep it up and you will be doing a marathon before you know it.

Hey Emily,
We bought a house just North of Skyline. We live 1 mile away from my parents house. We moved in May of last year. If you take the frontage road that runs between Skyline and 215 we live just a few houses down from where the street turns west. The Cummings family is in our ward. I don't know if your manly husband reads your blog, but tell him hi. Nice to find you on here and sorry to clutter your comments with comments that have nothing to do with your subject. We'd love to see you guys... I hate saying things like "oh we need to get together" and then never getting together, but we need to get together.
