wow, i cannot believe its been 7 months since my last post. my goals this year were to run the mini-sprint triathalon labor day weekend, do the marine mud run, and run the 10k on thanksgiving. so far i missed the tri, did the mud run, and getting ready for the 10k tomorrow morning.
i read my blog from last years 5k, my first, i was really stressed about it!! i cant say i am stressed about the race, i am sure i will finish it. i am not going to worry about how long it takes me, i am more worried if there are going to be port-a-pottys around!!!
will be running this year with a couple of friends, kristie, who has run many of these, and lindsey, this will be her first 10k too. i dont think either of these chicks realize how much i admire them. all three of us have lost a lot of weight. they both inspire me, and are going to keep me motivated to keep going!!
sooo, 2 out of 3 goals for the year, not too bad! i am still not sure if i love running, but i definitely love the benefits. even started a beginners running class at the Y for people like me, who had never been able to run a whole mile before. i figure if i can do it, anyone can.
speaking of being inspired, i never realized how many people inspire me every day. sometimes its my kids, sometimes my hubby, sometimes its just different people i talk to at the Y who just trigger something within me to do something new, different, or better. i have been inspired to do something that i never thought i would do...go to college. i start in january, and will be studying health/fitness/nutrition. i am so excited!!! if you knew me back in school, you would understand how BIG this really is!!!!!:)
so, if you get anything out of this whole jumbled up mess of a blog, its GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING!!!! TRY SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE!
