5 Miler

Sunday morning I headed out to try to beat my running record. In all my years of sports, running was not something I EVER did. But recently I got into reading running blogs and just love them. I have always wanted to run a half marathon. Why you ask? For the cool sticker to put on my car. But last Sunday I ran 4 miles and felt so proud. This Sunday I told myself I had to beat that record. So of course when I set out on my first mile I always feel terrible and I ache everywhere but somehow I push through it. I ran all over the neighborhood to where I almost ran out of streets. :) But I finished 5 miles in 55:40. YAY!!! I felt so good afterwards and since then I feel like my pants fit looser and I have lost like 10 pounds. Funny how one run can make you feel so different. I want to do another long one before the wedding to see if I can slim down just a little bit more so I can look AMAZING for my wedding! I am feeling good and can't wait til Saturday.
