5k Results

Just ran my 5k! My time was 34.51. Not too shabby for my first race since last summer AND for the first time running more than 2 miles since starting to run again! Feeling very happy. :)

Mileage Progress

Ran 2 miles yesterday and felt surprisingly good. I went at a slow and steady pace, but I didn't feel at any point of time that I was running out of steam or that I wish I was closer to home. In fact, I even did a fairly long sprint at the end. Feeling good about Saturday's 5k!

First 5k

I have registered for my first 5k of the year! It was only $10 and 100% of the proceeds go towards a school of your choice or to the school district.

Also, I just ran 1 mile with my friend Chelsea and was a full minute faster than the last time I ran. Feeling pretty good!

Half a pound in one month. Feeling frustrated, but hey, at least I didn't gain anything. And at least it wasn't the same.

Slow and steady. My last weigh in was exactly a month ago. I am happy I have lost some weight, but I feel like it is going very slowly. Maybe once I start running it will go faster. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with losing 3 pounds within a month, but I am also feeling a little discouraged.

I think part of why I feel discouraged is because last time when I ran or biked so much I had lost a lot of weight, but I hadn't realized it until about half-way through, so it felt like I must have lost a ton of weight really fast. Really, it was probably gradual (although not this gradual), but because I wasn't keeping track, it felt like it happened overnight.

Still, some weight loss is better than no weight loss.
