My race this past Saturday was great! I did not beat my best time. I thought I might but that last hill got me. It was fun and exciting. I had my daughter, my SIL and her friend Bobbie all with me. They walked and I ran. That was the first race for my SIL and my daughter and they really liked it. My daughter is wanting to do another one with me soon. How cool is that! Below is me and my daughter after the race.
The spectators had a little excitement while they waited on us. I suppose all our noise and such scared a deer out of the woods. He came running up and tried to jump through the window of a building. After falling down twice he jumped up and ran off, so hopefully he wasn't hurt.
My time was 41:27. My best was 41:05 at the Uplifting You race last month.
I am planning on doing a half in June. My son and his wife may do it with me as well.
I found a picture of me running during the race this past Sat. and it is not a pretty site. I must have the whitest legs there! But all I can say is, at least I am not on the couch!! I can see from this picture that I am a long way from goal weight!(as if I did not know that already!!) But I will keep the picture. I will have something to compare with it after all the excess weight is gone! Yippee!! Even though it is not the most flattering picture, I will share it with you guys. Just don't laugh, ok?
I don't even have to tell you which one I am do I!! ha ha.
I did make it into ONE-derland this week. I have been there before but always allowed myself to creep back up to the 200s. NOT THIS TIME! I will continue to work hard and lose this weight..I will! And I will keep it off. I know my time is a little better because I have lost weight. That is a great encouragement to me!
Well, I must say goodnight and get some beauty rest...although it probably won't help my white legs any...he he.
MAKE it a great night friends.
