I ran 6K this morning!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I'm a little proud of myself. I may not be very fast (it took me about 46 minutes) but I did it. It was just such a beautiful morning outside that I decided not to make my typical trip to the Y, where I've been struggling to stay motivated to run on the gerbil wheel most of us call the treadmill. The 6K really flew by this morning so I've decided that it may be a good idea to mix up my routine and perhaps run outside 2X per week and workout at the Y with other cardio and weights 2X per week. We'll see how that goes.
Anyways, for my run today and for my 5K run on Sunday, I'm awarding myself this shiny new bling:
(Thank you Diana for the awesome new buttons you made!!)
And, due to my loss of 2.2 lbs this week, I get more new bling:
My mantra this month has been "Motivated in May" and it seems to be working!!
1- At the beginning of April I set the goal of losing 10 lbs by Mother's Day. I did it!! Actually I lost 10.8 lbs!
2- Run 5K on Mother's Day without stopping. Done!!
3- Lose 5 lbs by May 21 (that's the day I'm going to see M) I'm at 3.8/5
4- Lose 8 lbs by June 2. That's one month from today and that's on an offical WI day. 3.8/8
5- Get 1200 minutes of cardio this month. 427 so far..
6- Run 3 times a week. Done!!
I look forward to checking in with everyone today!!

I am just starting running and so far I think I'm hooked. I'm working my way up to intervals of 3 min running/1 min walking this week. I can't wait until I can run 3K, then 5K, then 6 like you.
I love stopping by your blog to see what's going on with you and to get a dose in inspiration.
A big WOOHOO to you.

Congrats on the run! I used to run 2 miles every other day about 5years a go before I aggrevated my knee. I have to wait until I am much smaller to attempt to run again.
It's addicting! :)

Thanks for your comment.
I have to say my tail bone hurts more than my arm and that is after a week and it still hurts like mad but strangely enough there is no bruise on the tail bone....very odd...one bruise is enough though!
