I am glad you found a running partner. Is this a new partnership??? Running with people has made all of the difference in the world for me. #1---it gets me out when I do not want to and #2---the force me to push myself as I tend to be a kind of lazy runner (I prefer jogging to running).

And, to answer your question from my blog---NO!!!!!! I absolutely DO NOT like that sore ab feeling. Hate it. I do not mind sore legs, but I hate anything else to be sore, it makes me feel like I have the flu. This is why I rarely work my abs and I will probably have abs of jelly for the rest of my life!!!

Jeff has been doing that workout thingy (i forgot the name of it, but the one with the abripper routine). He says it is working. I put it on hold at the library. I am like #144 or something, so I might just get it by this time next year!!!

Have a great day! Do you guys have a trip planned up here at all this summer?

Yes, Ryan and I have been running together for a couple weeks almost every morning. It is so great because we both have similar goals and are both up for almost anything. I love it!!!!

How long has Jeff been doing p90x? That is awesome he is doing it. Hopefully we will be able to come in June or July for a while. It all depends on the money... the girls and I will have the time when they are out of school.

I think Jeff has been doing it for a few week. He borrowed it from his brother.

Dany money, necessary evil.
