Today is 3 weeks until my 5K. I’m so excited. The 5K really helped keep my focused on running and weight loss. I can’t believe how much much progress I’ve made. As of today I am down an even 18 pounds since I started my journey at the start of the year. I can’t believe it. I look good and feel great. Today was a first for me, I went running around my neighborhood with my dog today. I looked at some maps to try and figure out how to run in a 3 mile loop. I really enjoyed being outside, I think I even liked it more than the track. My poor little doggie was quite the trooper, for parts of the run we walked due to his tiredness or lots of cars. I used the stop watch function on my ipod to measure how long I’d been out and I ran to a spot that I knew the address of so I could figure out my distance via google maps. I actually was out running for nearly 50 minutes, it FLEW by, I was shocked by how quickly the time went by. So I got home and figured out that I actually ran/walked 3.6 miles total!
I know I’m gonna be able to run the 5K, but I really want to run it for time. I’d love to come in under 31 minutes. I’m gonna try and figure out a good 5K route to practice on outside because I like I said I enjoyed it better than the track by A-LOT.
I’m hoping to really pick up the pace at the gym the next 3 weeks. I’d really like to drop 5 pounds by race day. I’m gonna try and shoot for 5x a week at the gym for the next 3 weeks, we’ll see.
