View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
Still riding on the euphoria of meeting my jogging goal yesterday. The knees feel good, too. Muscles are a little unhappy but I like them that way. 
I made a deal with myself to increase my speed by 1/10 of a mile per hour for every 5 lbs I lose; that way I don't injur myself and I keep myself motivated. I'm hoping to be under 280 by the end of the month. That is right at 4 lbs I need to misplace. Then I can up my time to 4.2 MPH. That would bee cool. I'm ready. I'm hoping for 2 lbs on tomorrow's check in. If I can get there, I know that 279.99 is mine!
Super excited about all of this!
I shared that I ran 4 miles yesterday with my mother and her first response: "Don't you have shin splints? I tried to start running when I was thirty and got shin splints. I went to the doctor and my doctor told me that people just don't start running in their 30's. Their bodies can't handle it." I said, "No, it feels awesome and I love it. I don't have any shin pain, just a little muscle pain."
Why can't my Mom's first response ever just be happiness/pride for me and my accomplishments? It's always got to be about her first. Oh well! It's a good thing I never seek her approval before I do something, or I'd still be working as a receptionist in Sacramento!
I told her I was going to sign up to run a 5K in the fall and she finally said "Wow, your progress amazes me." She FINALLY said that she was going to take some vacation time and come to see us. I was shocked. Maybe I can run my marathon the weekend she will be here.
Ooooh. New pictures from the company party last weekend. I'm going to post one of them up here on CK. Maybe the me drinkin' margarita picture?
Update: Dang, the picture is too small. I will work on it later at home and post a better version.
