Success!!

For the past two running days, I successfully completed 3.2 miles (5k)!!  First time it took me 34 minutes and the second time, even including the horrible hated mean hill, I reduced my time by 30 seconds.  I am so ready to kick this 5k's butt!!!

I may look like a sweaty tomato when I get done, but it feels so great!

Count down....7 days until the big event...

I'm a runner, babe, a runner

On March 21st of this year, I started another weight loss journey.  This time it was spurred on by my work hosting a Biggest Loser Competition, where the winner (a.k.a. biggest loser) wins the jackpot.  $320 up for grabs.  I want it. 

For this journey, I decided to get the help of Weight Watchers and Couch Potato to 5k, which I will for now on refer to as C25k.  Both have been a lot of fun (I know, weird, right?) and I've successfully lost 12 lbs to date.  I never in a million years thought I would be able to run...I still haven't reached the goal of running 3.2 miles, non-stop, but I have succeeded at running 25 minutes, 2.2 miles, non-stop.  Running is so much fun!!!  It is such a great way to clear your mind, get outdoors, and ultimately, get you in shape!

On June 4th, me and my buddy Kathryn are going to run a 5k in Atlanta!!!  I'm so stoked.  I asked Lance if he was going with me to Atlanta to see me at the finish line, and he looked at me in a puzzled way, and said "Would you think I would miss it?"  Awwwww, I love him. 

Do you like to run?
