Hola! I have offically signed up for another 5K. This is the "and They're Off" 5K sponsered by BB&T. My registration fee will be donated to the Home of the Innocents (which is very dear to me, since my oldest neice has been admitted there 3 times). The race is on October 30th!
I was kinda bummed to find out that the 5K I'm racing in on Saturday is NOT timed. I don't know what I was thinking not signing up for the timed, but that's what I did.
Anyway... just thought I'd post about it! I'll keep everyone (that cares ;}) updated on the training for it.
Holla!

T - 3 Days
Yep, only three more days until the big race! Surprisingly, I'm not too excited about it. I run at least three miles every time I run now, so I don't feel like it'll be that huge of a challenge. But, to contradict myself, I'm excited to get out there with other runners and see how I do. I guess I just changed my mind! ;)
In other news, I've officially lost over 40 lbs. Aaaannnnddd, I've decided after this weeks 5K I'm going to start training for a 10K. I haven't signed up for any races (yet) but I feel like I need some sort of goal to work towards.
So here's to me... and my new super in shape body!

Squeeee...
Hello all!
So, I'm pretty much awesome! Yes, I really mean that. I'm able to run 3+ miles with no problem. My 5K on the 9th of October is going to be a breeze! Next, I'll be on my way to training for a 10K. I never in a million years thought I would be able to say that. It's like and alien has taken over my body. Who would have thought just a short six months ago I would be 40 lbs lighter and ready to run a 5K, let alone start training for a 10K!?
It's amazing what running has done for me. It's an AWESOME stress reliever, the inches have been melting away, and it just makes me feel so much better. It's like I get a high from it. I encourage anyone who has thought about running to try to Couch to 5K program. It really is a great program, and has worked for a ton of people.
Tomorrow is weigh in day. I'm really not sure if I'll lose or not. I lost 2 points (going from 25 to 23) last week, and have struggled a bit with staying within them. Granted, I've had the activity points to cover my overage, but I usually don't use those much. What really surprises me about 'maybe' not losing is that it doesn't really bother me. What is so different for me this time around is the fact that I'm all about the long term, not the short term. Who cares if I gain/don't lose??? It's not like I can't lose the following week or week after. The point is that I feel better than I ever have... EVER! I'm fitter, healther, and happier!
Also, one of my very best friends had her first child the other day! Blake Christopher Baker was born September 29, 2010 weighing in at 7lbs 5oz and 19inches long. I can't wait to meet this little bundle of joy... and really can't wait until he is old enough to play with my little guy!
