Go Ahead and Laugh

I have just accomplished something huge. I can now fit into my old "Fat" clothes! Yay, I feel so skinnier!

I walked the 5K today and I reached my goal! I thought I could do the race in 1 hr, and I did it in about 49 minutes. I was much more prepared than I thought I would be, so my next goal is to run a 5 K, I haven't come up with a deadline on that one, though. I also didn't want to finish last, and I finished 621 out of 740, and 251 out of 288 for my age group. So, I met my goals, but I definitely have room to improve.

I'm finaly doing something after having a baby!

So, I just set a goal for myself, it may seem small, but its only been 5 months since I had a baby! I just signed up for a 5K, I'm going to be walking it. Its on August 22, and I'm doing it with a friend so that I don't give up on it :). And in order to accomplish that goal I'm going to walk for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week for this first week and then gradually increase that until I'm able to keep up a decent pace for 3.2 miles (I thing that is how long it is). I don't intend to win, just not be dead last, but its something more than I was doing! And now that I've told you all about it then I have to follow through!
