Running

{via}

In the past couple of months I've been running. If you know me, at all, you might be checking your calendar thinking it's possibly April 1st and that I'm just joking; however, that is not the case. I've actually been running for two months. The above pictures does a great job depicting the situation. 

I'm running for a couple of reasons. First, it's a great way to get into shape. Running has countless health benefits - from your heart, to oxygen, to losing weight. I also work among several runners - so I was kind of forced to pick it up. I've made it a goal of mine to train for a half marathon and participate in a Rock 'n' Roll Marathon this fall. It's scary, but exciting. And although I often resemble this little girl when I run - I feel so great and accomplished afterwards. 

Are any of you runners? How'd you feel starting out?

So I don't know about you, but I avoid multi-vitamins. Why? They are obnoxiously over-sized. I mean it's more likely that I choke while taking a multi-vitamin than actually get it down my throat. Seriously.You know, tons of memory and programs can be put into a chip the size of my little toe nail, but muti-vitamins can't be smaller? Someone needs to get on that (unless there are smaller versions. If this is the case, then I would ask you to inform me, please!)

The other options? Gummy vitamins. This is a favorite because it's a great alternative. It definitely does not pack in all the good stuff, and some of the vitamins aren't 100%, but it's better than chocking six times before cutting it in half and still choking to get it down. If you have the same problem, I would recommend these or any type of chewy vitamin. It's like eating candy and all your fruits and veggies in one!
