Peach Run

I ran my first 5K Saturday. I had to walk some, but I ran over 2 miles of it. My Dad came down from TN to run with me and he pushed me to run more than I really thought I could. we had a good time though. Here are some pics!

Race Route

I ran the race route early this morning and by ran I mean that I ran the first mile and a half walked a mile and ran the last half mile. As hard as it was it felt pretty good to finish that. My legs are hurting some, but all in all I feel good and think I'm pretty much ready for Saturday even though I won't be able to run the entire race.

Am I ready

I'm not to sure how the weight loss part of my journey is going, but I ran two miles on the treadmill. It felt pretty good and I think that although I can't run the full 3.1 miles I can run most of it and probably finish in under an hour. That's my goal. Tomorrow's a water aerobic day though just in case I'm sore from my run.

5 K training

I signed up for my first 5 K and it will be on June 20th. I am excited and scared at the same time. I don't get the opportunity to run outside very often because I have to stay on campus for my kids to be in child care. I did run outside last night for the first time. I ran with my Dad and I ran 1.5 miles. I walked some to and got a total of 2.7 miles in. As far as the weight goes. It doesn't seem to be coming off as fast as I'd like, but lots of people are beginning to notice my progress, so maybe I'm just a little more critical of myself than I should be. I am running again in the morning with my cousin's wife. I'm sure she'll kick my butt, but I'm gonna do it anyway. I;m meeting her at 6 AM which is earlier than I'm used to, so we'll see.
