Blogging and exercise are they the same??

I don't anyone to think I don't keep up on my blog.  Ha ha!!  I pull it up everyday to see if there are any new posts on others blogs to read.  Thank goodness my sister, Lara, posts almost every day. ( I am still waiting to see what hair color she chose though.)

I started blogging because it is such a great way for distant family to keep involved with our lives and I'm not great at writing in my journal every night so why not blog.  On a side note,  my hubby was a great journal keeper has like four full journals from his mission and many from before and after, then we get married and what happens???  He stops.  I must be a bad influence on him.  Or maybe.....I've made all of his dreams come true so  his life is complete and he has nothing else to write about.

Anyway,  I really want to have a great blog/journal and I really want to exercise to be more fit.  But I can seem to find other things to be distracted by before I actually start blogging or exercising.  Kind of like I'm avoiding it. 

When I have been training for some of the relays and runs I have done, I hit 5 miles and I'm bored out of my mind even if I'm running great.  My hubby says I haven't hit my "ZEN" yet.  Apparently when you are in your zen, running is therapeutic, relaxing etc.  The same goes for blogging, sometimes I enjoy writing but when my finger nails are too long and keep catching the keys or I continually have to backspace for grammar/punctuation corrections or when the computer is being difficult I'm not in my zen.  I'd rather sit and read everyone else's blogs before updating mine. 

So yes, I am a procrastinator.  What else is new.  However, I do want better journaling of our family and I do want to be more active and so with that I will  try harder.  So stay tuned you may see more updates from me:)

See and I enjoy blogging so much that it's my way of procrastinating other stuff like laundry and yes, exercise. :)

It is entirely possible that there is actually no zen that exists for some people, namely the Hays', when it comes to exercise. I keep trying to tell Aaron this as well, but like Jeff, he doesn't get it either. And yes, you must have made all of Jeff's dreams come true!
