5K #2

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!

Update

So, it's been a while since I've posted. Just thought I'd give myself an update (I'm sure no one else reads this).

As of Saturday, September 11, 2010 I've lost 35.8 pounds with my weight now being 182.2. I am now working on week eight of my couch to 5K training program (which is a 5 min warm up walk, 28 minuite jog, 5 min cool down walk) and am able to run about 2 1/2 miles in 28 minutes. My 5K is right around the corner (October 9th) and I'm REALLY excited about it.

I can't think of a time in my life were I've been healthier. I'm eating better than I EVER have; excercising a ton; and just feel better overall. I'm really looking forward to making goal, and though I have a while before I get there I'm really enjoying the ride. I don't feel deprived and I'm very happy with my decisions.

For anyone that may stumble upon this post and may be struggling with weight; take a look at weight watchers. It's a great program that teaches you how to eat healthy and not deprive yourself. It's unlike any other weight loss system out there. I truly believe it isn't a deit, but a lifestyle change.
