5K

Greetings from SoCal!!

I am sorry for boasting about myself, but I dont do it often, and I think today is a good excuse to do so!

Today I reached two small goals of mine...

I ran a 5k without stopping! And I am down 5lbs since my husband left. I did not really start working towards my goal until just about mid-April. So in a month and a half I went from ZERO cardio - it was a struggle to run half a mile - to 3.1 miles!

If any of you know my cardio abilities, it's not my strong suit. Sure I used to run up an down the lacrosse field in high school, but those were more like sprints, not endurance. And that was 3 years ago! I have worked out after school, but it hasn't been the same, not being apart of a team.

So now here I am, 3 years to the day of graduating high school, and I can run a 5k! This is not a small accomplishment for me. I have never been able to pat myself on the back for any endurance workout before. I'm thrilled!

I have to thank my work-out partner Jenny Durkin! She is on the same journey I am. We secretly out-do each other everyday. So congrats Jenny! I am so proud of you for making this goal with me and I'm so thankful I have you beside me, pushing me to do better.

Now maybe we can keep up a little bit along side our husbands working out?!?

Wishful thinking, I think. They have a 4 year head-start on this whole long distance running.
