Macro

Today Jake and I started a running program called Couch to 5K which aims to get you off the couch, onto the roads, and running 5K (about 3mi) in 2 months.  While we're not exactly couch potatoes, we aren't in the shape we used to be either. 

Some of you know that I absolutely abhor running - I've been there, done it, and still hate it!  Today's post is my attempt to give running another shot; I've decided that maybe if I can sneak some photography into this destestful sport, it might grow on me. 

I have no idea where this little guy came from, all I know is that he has been living on our table and holding our toothpicks for as long as I can remember.  Along the way there have been several super glue surgeries to prevent Mr. Elephant from being a bobble-head or to re-affix his stubby toothpick tail. 

Though a bit scratched and scruffed, can you imagine a more fun toothpick holder?

Not gonna lie, starting a new habit/routine is difficult in the midst of the holidays especially while travelling away from home.  So, in the spirit of honesty, I admit that days 2 & 3 are a tad-bit late...here's to hoping you will let me slide this time!

Right now we are staying at my parent's house so I thought it would be fun to use my next few posts to take pictures of things around the house that bring back memories.
