Another Bun In The Oven

I'm sure you've heard by now and if you haven't, I'm pregnant! I tend to be a little bit um... sick to put it mildly. Pregnancy and I really don't get along but so far things haven't been too bad (keep your fingers crossed). By my calculations baby will be due around April 10th.

Work'n It!

Lately I've been less than happy with my body. I know everyone has self confidence issues but it's time for me to do something about it. Jon has grown increasingly tired of listening to me complain so he has been dragging me to the gym. Even though I haven't seen results, my endurance is definitely building. I started out with the goal to run a mile. Maybe that isn't a big deal for some of you. The last time I ran a mile was in high school. I completed the mile exhausted with a time of 13:00. Since then my time has skipped around at 11:30, 10:31, 10:05, and 9:59. Being the encouraging husband he is, Jon didn't let me stop there. Now I am running/jogging for 20 minutes. I have been doing a mile and a half at 16:20 and using the remaining time to cool down. Even though I hate running I know this is good for me. For those of you wondering, Jon runs 4 miles in half an hour and does a mile and a half in 8 minutes. I know I won't ever be that fast but I can definitely improve. The gym we go to on base is called Arctic Oasis. While we work out the kids have a great place to play and stay entertained. I thought I would include a few pics from the last time we were there.
