So I have been training a lot less than I want to be. This week was super busy- the first week of May I didn't get out as much as I should have but I did ok at the first 10k - I finished it in 1:28. Came in second out of THREE ha! but it's all good!
I wasn't able to push Christopher the whole distance because of weather and not wanting him to get wet and cold. But I did push him at the end and across the finish line.
Losing weight- not really but once I get to training more I should show a loss... I bounce back and forth in the same 5 pound range. Can't wait to get out of it but it is my choices that are keeping me from doing so. I have got to get out there and exercise! It is getting nicer outside so hoping to take advantage of that and go for walks more often and longer.
next event is May 30th a 5k! Gotta get moving so I can do well in the half marathons that are coming up! Want to go train where the screamer is. Perhaps tomorrow!? good plan and picnic at the park if it is nice out!
until I blog again.....

2011
Well, I have set my goals for this year. I have about 50 pounds to lose and to do so I am going to walk/run a series of 10k's (one a month for five months May- Sept). I have a couple of 5k's I am going to do, and at least two half marathons. I will be pushing my special needs son for all these events (combined weight of about 150 pounds)
The first event is this Saturday May 7th!! I am NOT ready but figure this will give me room to improve as I move through the series! I am nervous about this event simply cause I do not know the course. Haven't seen it, don't know the area so a map won't tell me enough to make me not feel nervous.
So- increase my protein intake, seriously decrease my sugar intake, and exercise exercise exercise. I am hoping that by the time I get to the Soda Screamer I am very very close to my goal if not at goal. and I am hoping to beat my time of last years screamer.... 3:42:55 I am looking for under 3:30 - major goal is being done in under 3:15 but we will see how this summer goes.
Follow along- please send encouragement! thoughts- prayers etc!!
Until I blog again.... (and I won't wait so long between blogs) =)
