Spring has technically been here a little over a week, but today is getting up to 79 degrees in my neck of the woods and I am pretty excited about it. I am trying to get back into jogging and the warm weather gives me just a tiny bit of incentive while my body is screaming and constantly reminding me how painful it is to run when you are out of shape.
I am just glad that I had a point in my life where I was in shape and enjoyed running. If I had not experienced that myself, I think I would probably give up – assuming all you runners who say running is fun are just liars. 
But I do remember enjoying running – it is a distant memory, but I am going to try to get back there. I have been a desk-jockey for the last 7 years and walking back and forth to the printer doesn’t exactly yield a fit body.
So anyway, it’s been a while since I have done a roundup post – so here are a few articles that have caught my eye over the last few weeks… Enjoy!

Thanks for including my Financial Highway post on tax filing mistakes. Great round up.
Thanks for the mention Bob!
Hey Bob, I think we mentioned this to you before on Twitter but I’ll say it again here. Nickel and I are in the same boat, we too wish to get into running. The program we are using is called “couch to 5k” or C25K. We are in our 2nd week and are both very happy with the program. Check it out on Nickel’s fitness site Fit36.com
Get off the couch and come join us!
You looking to lose weight? I lost 37 pounds without running or any exercise at all. How I did it is on my website under freebies. Free.
Bob, thanks for including my article in your roundup! Glad you liked it! I wish that it was 79 degrees in my state. It’s cold here! Burr!
Thats the worst part. Knowing you love running, knowing what it feels like to take a few miles every day, but getting there, ugh. Some days just tying my tennis shoes makes me sore. (So much for growing up!)
Thanks for the link Bob! I hear ya about running – I am SO not motivated, but the warm weather does make me feel like I at least should be!
What is spring? Move to the tropics and enjoy SUMMER all year round.
Thanks for including my article.
