Ran 1st 5K - sort of…
Well I know I havent been around much. I have had TONS going on lately. It sucks. I got a new client at work and they are kicking my ass with stuff to do….so less time to play online right now. I’m hoping it will die down here soon.
I did want to say that last Saturday I registered as a “runner” at my first 5K for the Humane Society. I ran a good portion of the first mile and about half of the second mile. I did power walk the last mile though….I was exhausted and so was my dog haha! I got a tshirt and everything….and the tshirt fit in a XL - that isnt a plus just a plain old XL….felt great! One of the hardest things I’ve done to date exercise wise but I am excited to have tried. I did it in 45 minutes which means I’m slow haha but I did a 15 min mile and that is pretty good for someone who started at nearly a 30 minute mile a few months ago….
The weight loss is still going but SLOW….I’m lucky to get a pound in each week but I just think about the turtle/rabbit story and try and take it one weigh in at a time. I’m not a patient person but all I can do it keep pushing on. Hoping I’ll break through this barrier soon b/c I REALLY want to make my mini goal by vacation in July….
Well back to hell, I mean work, talk to you all soon! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Good Job Jenn!
Way to go!!
I don’t care if you had to use a wheelbarrow for the dog the last mile, you still completed it. GREAT JOB and GREAT PROGRESS!
That is WONDERFUL!!! I just did my first 5k and it took me 51 mins to finish! Last night I was on the treadmill…trying to push myself…and I was so proud…I did one min in 17 mins…so I asked my husband…what’s that times 3…and he said 51…duh! Guess my time hasn’t changed: )
Yet!
I am like you…I could hardly walk for 30 mins when I first started!
check out www.podcast.com…they have an interval training program you can download. The music is high energy and the bpm changes when it is time for you to go from walking to running!
Keep up the great work!
Great job. You are my inspiration. I have been telling myself I cant run I’m toooo fat, toooo much weight on my poor little feet. Well after you and Chrisie did the 5K, I have no more excuses so running here I come.
Congratulations and hope your still alive hehehe with your work. Sometimes its pain in the ass with the howlers. Keep on moving your butt i know you can
