Met My First Running Goal

I met my first goal for running today. I've been doing the Couch 2 5K program and today was my last run in the program. I can hardly believe that I have become a runner. Since I've been loving running I decided to find a new running goal. The next thing I am going to do is to train for a 10K. I'm going to be doing the One Hour Runner, which is the next step up. It is a 10 week program, so I'll have to keep you updated as I do this. I'm really excited about it.

I have my first race next Sunday. It is the Iron Girl 5K race at City Park. I'm a little nervous about it, but also excited as well. I'll let you all know how it goes!

Same things going on

I realized I haven't posted in awhile, but I really don't have much news. I'm still running and loving it. I'm getting better with every run, which is really fun. I am almost at the end of my training program. I only have 4 more runs left on it. I had my best run to date today. A total of 38 minutes and 2.9 miles. Woo hoo! I thought I had hit a wall at 2 1/2 miles, but I guess I can push past it. I was very encouraged at the end of it today. I'm looking for a new training program after this one because I'm not ready to stop and feel like I can keep going. So, when I find what I am going to do I'll let you know.

School is going well too. I only have 28 days left this year. Crazy!! I don't know where the time went. I have a ton left to teach and not very much time, so I'm really cramming it in. My kids leave exhausted everyday because we have no down time. Oh well, they'll survive and I will too.

I joined a book club for the first time. You all know how much I love to read, so I'm surprised I've never been in one before, but a parent from my school started one and asked me to join. We're reading "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer. It is about the Mormon population. Very disturbing in many ways, but yet I keep reading. It has been very educational.

I guess that is all for now. I'll try to be better about updating you all.
