10K Done and Done!


Well ... It may have been quite a while since my last post, but I have been running quite a bit. Since my summer of "no exercise" ... well at least 2 months of traveling with no consistent workout program, I started to run again when I got home. My goals were to run a 5K (3.1 miles) by October first ... and I completed that goal. :) Then I needed to run a 10K (6.2 miles) race by Thanksgiving. I did it! Yesterday, November 14, 2010, I ran my first 10K race at the Founders' Day run in Celebration, FL. I finished 1:14:58. It's a slower pace, but I was thinking about the bigger picture. In just over 3 months, I will be running the Disney Princess Half Marathon ... so I am looking to make sure I can run 13.1 miles. I'm not sure I have lost any weight yet or any inches, but I am still running as much as I can and heading toward my final goal. There's just no way I can't lose weight ... unless I am daily eating my weight in ice cream--which I am not. So, we'll see how it goes, and we'll keep on trucking. Until February ... happy running!
