A lot has happened since Disneyworld, so I'll just continue on from there...
So...
The weekend after we got back from Disney, I ran in my first 5K. (I had actually done one a couple of years ago, but my goal was not to pass out, so I don't really count that one). My friend Sarah had taken up running a couple of months before and she totally inspired me. Anyhoo, I started running the couch potato to 5k program at the first of February. I ran the 5K with some friends and my goal was to run the entire 5k. I didn't quite make it, but I was pretty pleased with my time of 34:41. (My shirt says "This isn't sweat; it's liquid awesome.")
I signed up for another 5k the next Saturday and ended up running it by myself. I had to really push myself, but I powered through and finished in 33:16! Pretty good for a "I'm not running unless someone is chasing me" kind of gal! I've continued with the running because I've gotten hooked on it- I like to see how much further I can go and just this morning I ran 4 miles! That's a pretty big deal for me. I can also see a change in my body which is alway a nice perk!
