I RAN

To most of you the mere thought of going out for a jog is no big deal but for me its pretty huge. I never run outdoors and haven't run at the gym since May. This is a big deal for me. I have always been bit jealous of people who like to run. I never have but I'm willing to try it out again. I always think I look terrible when I run so I grabbed my kicks around 9pm and ran in the dark. It was great and I felt great. I was able to run for about 30 minutes. I took on a big hill in our development twice. I wasn't able to make it up to the top but more than half way. I wish I could have made it all the way up but I know I can with a little more work.




I have always been my own worst enemy. I get in my own head and tell myself I'm not good enough. I am in need of a change in my life and I'm hoping this may be just a little bit of what I need. I'm a bit sore today but I took a nice long walk. I'll try and run again tomorrow.

Any runners out there who have some advice for me?

Have a fantastic weekend!

5K Turkey Trot

WE DID IT!!! Momma and I completed a 5K Turkey Trot last weekend. After eating all the goodies on Thursday and shopping till I dropped Friday I needed some exercise. It's my second one and my mother's first! I am so very proud of her. We didn't run the race but we walked. She stayed with me for the first 1.5 miles. I cut down my time to 12 minute miles which is awesome for me. My cousins also ran. My amazing track running cousin placed 1st in her age group. See the gold medal?


It was so warm most of us took off our outer layer with our numbers. 


We were super proud of ourselves!!! Can you tell?
Oh and would you believe its November 26th in NY? We were sweating! 


I kept reminding my mom and myself of this all morning! 
I just have to keep reminding myself of this everyday!



It feels good!
