Race day is Over

Well the big race was this past Saturday, I am not exactly sure what my time was but I know I came in slightly faster then the huckleberry Hustle. It was very hard for me, thankfully I had a good support Group to get me through the rough spot.. Thanks to all of you who stuck by me. I am not sure as to whether or not I will keep running, it is kinda strange as much as I hate it, I feel a Slight draw to it specially when I see all the people who run constantly and see what their bodies look like. I want a body like that!!!! I keep thinking that the more I run the easier it will get but it has been the exact opposite, it keeps getting harder. So I think I will cut out the race thing and just do the running at my own pace and distances for awhile and maybe work up to doing a 5k again. Doing the race thing really gets me upset, I really never though that I was that competative of a person but I guess I am. It really bothers me to see people passing me up, you can tell me all day long about how I am only doing it to prove something to myself, but my mind just does not work that way.

Also... A Kudos to Rena' for completing her first 10K .... in an 1 Hour and 26 minutes, I think...YEAH !!!!!

I also have to say that on Saturday afternoon I went to a wedding. I actually had to go out and buy a new outfit as I really had nothing to wear. Either all my clothes are too big or just slightly too small and I have to say that I looked HOT!!!! (at least I think I did) I felt really good about myself and was kinda bummed that it was a short wedding and reception and I got home rather early. I would have loved to have gone out on the town and displayed my confidence a little further. I am still in a size 22 on pants so that 7 pound rule is not exactly true for me but It will get down eventually. I have a whole closet full of size 20 clothes so for that I will be set and then won't have to buy new clothes for a while.

I hope all of you had a very nice weekend. Take care and I will talk to you later

I bet you did look hot!!!. So at this point you can concentrate and set your new goal to get in all those size 20 clothes....it will just keep going down from there.... yippee!!! Again, I am so proud that you did the race... maybe you will just want to consider doing the walks instead of the runs in the near future.??...The Crim is only 5 weeks away and they have plenty of different categories to get in.. you may want to think about that..They have a 5 k walk or even a 1 k walk... Keep up the good work!!!

I had a blast with you!

It isn't "Run or Nothing"! You got to make it about things you enjoy or else you won't do it!

Swimming, horseback riding, farm work - Stick to those and you'll be fine!
