The crazy thing about this count down is that once I get closer it means the Holidays are approaching..I am not going to think about that or I may completely stress myself out! I AM excited to post this week, I am 1 day late due to the Easter Holiday as well as working that evening. So here we go...
Goals for last week:
- Prepare my foods for home cooked meals: I could probably do
better with this, but no one can change over night. It is a learning
process and I am progressing!
- Jazzercise: I did go...only twice this week.
- Run 3-4x/wk: I ran 3 times this week. Monday we did 3 miles,
Tuesday we did 4.5 miles and on Sunday 3.1 miles! Look at me, I am
turning into a runner!
- 5K April 7th: This is why I am excited!! My friend and I did a 5K
on Saturday, it was her 1st and my 2nd (my 1st was over 2 years ago).
We ran for Prayer Child, it is their 2nd annual race and still quite
small (about 70 runners). It is a wonderful organization geared to help
children with special needs. I was so blessed to have raised money for
them, knowing the money was going to someone who really needed it. Right
before they started the race they had a family share their story, and
then they handed them a check for $1000! I ran the 3.1 miles in 37:09
minutes, a pace of 11:58 minute per mile. We timed our first mile though
and we did it a 9:50 min. My faster..EVER! I sure paid for it though
and slowed down the last 2 miles. But I kept going and I finished and
after I caught my breath and drank some water I was ready to enjoy my
victory! We might not have won a medal but we accomplished something and
that means way more to me! Plus..there's always next time!!
