Feeling Awesome!

Since it's the weekend, food choices weren't my high point today, but I did get an awesome run in.

I have never in my life been able to run a 5k without stopping. On my training schedule today, I was supposed to be doing 3 miles though! Yikes! I decided that since I live so close to the 5k I'll be doing at the end of the month, and I have a map, I should try to run the course.... and I did!

Or almost.. lol I thought I ran the course, but the map's not very good. After I thought I had it figured out in the car, I parked and decided to give it a try. I ran it all the way through! It felt amazing! I noticed, though, that I didn't remember passing the "1 mile" or the "3 mile" sign. So, when I got home I went to google maps and figured out what I actually ran and it was 3.5 miles!!! I can't believe I did that!

My longest run to this point was 2.5, and it felt really hard, but today didn't feel hard at all. I mean, it wasn't easy, but I wasn't dying. I didn't think running was an emotional thing, but I literally thought I would cry when I realized I was going to finish! The crazy thing was that I didn't sweat that bad, and I wasn't that out of breath. How crazy is that?

So, enough about that I guess. lol Tomorrow's a rest day for running, but I might do some pilates... we'll see. I'm just happy that Jon's on vacation now and we can spend some time together as a family! There's already a lot planned for next week, but I think it will be fun! :-)

More to come!
