I Finally Did It!

So it has been my goal for a while to be able to run the 5k without stopping. I finally did it today. I met Michelle, Cami and Mary this morning and we had a fun run. Michelle ran by me and kept encouraging me not to stop. She was just what I needed! THANKS MICHELLE! And poor Mary's shoes were too small. By the time she finished under her toenail was all black and I'm sure it will be falling off soon. Poor Mary. Anyways, I feel great. Someone to run with was just what I needed.

My week in review

This week I think I did pretty good at staying on track. I walked 6 days and most of it was up hill. Today I walked 1 mile and than ran 2 and than walked the last mile. Granted most of my running was down hill, it is a start, right? Eating wise I think I did okay, I have room for improvement. I had 1/2 cup of ice cream and a cookie when we got back from the Temple. But other wise this week I did pretty good. I found that if I have plain yogurt and a big bowl of fresh fruit, I don't grab the other stuff to eat. Also, I always have a big bowl of salad already made up and eat it during the week. Sundays are hard for me, but I a may try to get the family to go for a stroll and see how it goes.
