AHHHH! Its so close and I feel so unprepared. I was home all week last week which only made it harder to stay on track. I did go to the gym once and did a 32 min 5K, which isn't fantastic but its also not terrible. I really do not feel like I can run a 10K all the way through in a little over a month. I hope I can and I'm going to try my best to accomplish it but I don't want to be unrealistic and disappoint myself.


I can tell I am making progress though. Longer distances seem a lot easier and my time is getting better. I still have not faced my biggest problem though . . . running. . . outside. . . during daylight hours. I usually stick to night running or the treadmill. I fear the heat will kill me if I don't start training in it soon.

It's Friday!

Hi possibly-existant readers! ^_^ Life has been busy lately, so I haven't been blogging much.. Oh well.

Yesterday I had a great run with a friend of mine (Hi Nick!), we did 3 miles around my area. He's in a lot better shape than I am, so I was trailing behind a lot, but it definitely got me to run a lot harder. Running with friends is definitely something to do more often.

Also, huge improvement - I ran in just my sports bra for part of it, which is a big deal because I'm super self-conscious about my stomach right now. Felt great though!

I'm hoping I'll still be able to run tonight.. it likely won't happen this weekend, as I'll be at a friend's place the whole time. But in good news, I've lost a few pounds since I've started and people have already mentioned a difference! Yayy! Once I get under 150, that'll be a huge awesome step!

Also, isn't that little guy super cute?? :)

Today was my off day? Whoops..

Yup, today was supposed to be my off day.. But, as usual, Tuesdays suck. I woke up in a bad mood, mad at him and mad at myself, and it just never let up all day. And the weather outside was once again too gorgeous to pass up.

Soo.. I ended up just doing a quick mile and focusing on stretching today. A little more relaxing, and I still got a workout in today. :)

I am so sore from working out hard the past couple days, and it's back to a longer run tomorrow. It's the first of May, just a little over 2 months from race day. I got myself a new scale, plan to make an inspiration board, and really work hard to make myself the best I've ever been.
