My New Challenge (not a recounting of a childhood experience, so you can actually read this one)

I don't really like exercise. Most of us know that. I get into something for a while and then I get bored of it. I think my problem is that I have never had any really good motivation. Problem solved.

My stake is having a large-ish Easter activity on April 15th. One of the festivities of the day includes a 5k run. Guess who's running in it.... :-) That's right: me. But here's where my motivation problem gets solved. Jacob and I have made a deal. If I can run the 5k in under 30 minutes, I get a new computer. I know that doesn't really do it for everyone, but it does it for me!!! So I started running as of yesterday, all the while chanting in my head, "1 gig of RAM, Dual core CPU, flat screen monitor, 80 gig hard-drive..."

Ok, so I'm a nerd. I think we were all aware of that.

Honestly, I don't know if I'll make it in under 30 minutes. I think I'll be a little sad if I don't, but I'm really excited to try.
