Friday weigh in AND Monday mix tape

Hey all! Friday was impossible and I never got to post my weigh in which is really okay because it's getting less and less dramatic :) I'm truly fine with my weight loss slowing down. It will be nice to be able to wear new clothes more than once

107 pounds total!

Saturday the alarm went off at 5am for my 10k in the country! I went with my friends/neighbors and luckily they drove. I was barely awake but I'm always excited for a race.

The course was gorgeous! We were on country roads then on a winding running trail through cotton fields that were covered by the morning mist as the sun was coming up. I hardly ever stop long enough to take pictures but it was too pretty not to!





Because my foot has been forcing me to run slow, I did not set out to break any records but much to my surprise.......

Do you believe that my first ever 10k was 1:49? I've shaved 42 minutes off my 10k. I can't quite believe it myself. I felt great and so did my foot so I just let go and enjoyed it!

Sunday I did a 90 minute Bikram yoga class and today I'm resting while I get caught up on some work - in the middle of my house being torn apart. It's tough and I'm stressed but I'm hanging in there!

Have a happy, healthy week!!!

  1. Weight loss definitely equals faster speeds when it comes to running - so that's paying off for you. You are looking mighty small in photos these days :D

  4. Under 1:10 for a 10k is awesome, especially when you have shaved 40+ mins off your original 10k time. Very happy for you :)
