Today was a beautiful, warm day, lots of people were walking/biking/running on the green way. When we reached our spot I took off my shoes and stood in the river. Granted the water was extremely cold but it was so nice and peaceful. We both tried skipping rocks and just took a moment to take in the beauty around us. 
Our run took a toll on my body today, my legs were really sore after but my abs were also burning in a good way which means progress! Yay! It is so exciting to see my body reacting well to the exercise and it's really exciting that the weather is getting warmer and nicer. I love Idaho, especially in the spring and summer. I am definitely going camping soon! Today when I pushed myself through the really hard parts of the run, it got easier to go farther. I am very pleased with the progress I am seeing. I couldn't love running by the river more. There's something so calming about being out in nature. I watch people run on the track at school and it looks so painfully dull compared to what I get to see. Plus, running on a trail gets my body prepared for my long term goal of running a 5k.
The other day in class, some people were saying how exercise goes away with marriage. I say that is bologna! It only goes away if you let it, same as a testimony. You have to work at both to keep them around. My friend Ashley made a good observation that we will always have to take care of our bodies, there's no magic age or circumstance when we should start. I'd like to add to that by saying it's our responsibility to take care of our bodies and it should be a privilege. Learn to love yourself and taking care of you will be a breeze.
