Running Down a Dream

So I made the promise to myself for the new year to exercise at least 2-3 times a week.  So far so good.  I set a goal to run in the Color Me Rad 5K run in Miami & I did it!!  

The hubs bought me new running shoes for Christmas because I signed up for the race.  They are the real deal and are really getting used...not just for fashion.   I've been motivated and have been running every other day.  

The app that changed it all!

I have this nifty little app that I downloaded onto my phone....it's called Get Running.  I love it!  It's a training app to get you from your couch to running a 5K in 9 weeks.  My little British trainer interrupts my music to tell me when to run and when to walk.  There are varied goals depending on the week.  I'm the kind of person who needs someone to tell me what to do, so this app is perfect for me. 

I did it!  I ran the entire 5K without stopping!  That is the absolute farthest I've run since high school.  I feel so accomplished.

Now it's time to find a new goal to conquer!   

I FINISHED!!!

Do you have an exercise goal?  What do you do to reach your goals?

67 Days...

Why does it always take an event to kick your butt into gear?  
I'm not happy with my weight or the lumpiness underneath my clothes.  I know I need to do something about it, but then I'm too lazy to do anything.  


Then I realized that I have a wedding in 67 days.  67 days. 


Now I have to kick my own butt into gear.  I have to really get moving.


I only have 67 days to lose about 10-15 lbs.  I only have 67 days to lose about 10 inches.  


Can I do it?  I HAVE to!

Wish me luck!
