Jog a 5k in under 37 minutes. Lose a few extra pounds along the way. Make it to the top of Mount Timpanogas and hopefully back next year.
Long-Term Running Goals:
Stay within 10 lbs of my husbands disgustingly low weight.
Personal:
I am a mother of four kids ranging in age from 15 to 3. Thus the extra weight that I need to lose. I am a military spouse who has thus lived all over the place. We have been married for 18 years.
I'm a Wogger. Meaning I walk/jog. I would not call it running and I only joined the FastRunningBlog because my husband ArmyRunner made me and Sarah threatened to try and convince me also.

I actually jogged for 4.1 miles and then walked .9 miles along the Provo River trail. My longest continous run in my life. It was painful and slow but I did it.
Wow!!! 4.1 is a long way for your first wog!! Never heard that term before but I like it...I like it alot...sorry for the pressure. I felt that way about the blog at first too. I kind of resented it and didn't want to HAVE to blog my workouts..especially since I was still getting in shape after Jacob. But now there are so many different people on here it's fun. There are super fast guys like our very disgustingly skinny husbands and there are people on every level you can imagine. And when you get comments and get to know people I like blogging for the social aspect that we girls love. Anyway, hopefully it won't be a chore for you...I know you don't need anymore of those. Good to have you on the blog....I think you'll love it.
By the way...good as place as any to tell you that Benjamin wants to have an end of summer water gun fight with a few friends. Is Jared busy August 17th...we'll probably have it in the afternoon...it will be pretty casual just let the boys run around in the backyard and maybe give them some smoothies or something. give me a call
Great Job! When I first started running, I didn't even call it wogging. I'd tell my hubby that I was going for a "go". Whether I walked or jogged, I was going to get out that door and move myself somewhere. I'm glad you joined the blog!

Welcome to the blog. I would recommend that you start timing your runs, including the walking part. This will give you a mental reason to keep running, as well as provide something tangible to keep track of your progress.
Sarah, Jared would love to go to benjamin's water fight on friday. I will call you before then.
