5K under 30 Minutes!!!
Sunday, March 14th 2010
I ran my first race today and completed 5k in 27 mins 30 seconds.I am SO FREAKIN PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!
The first week of January I suffered through alternating running one minute and walking one minute... and thinking running was the worst exercise in the world.

Ups and Downs
Thursday, March 11th 2010
I've been noticing some changes lately... not that there has been a lot of change in the past 3-4 weeks but that I think I'm finally catching up with noticing where I've been changing all along.Most noticeable to me are my bones.

But I love it! I really really do!
Last night I was out with my running group and near the end of our third set of 10 mins running/1 min walking I just took off.....
