Well, what an amazing day for a long run in the sun! I haven't run 11 or over for quite some time. So, today felt like a big accomplishment. I took the group out for the run today, and it was a gooder.

#500in2010 Sunday = 7.31 miles
And my weekly #500in2010 = 35 miles (I walked a bit where it wasn't recorded on my Garmin, and enough to round up!)
Thank you Heidi! Yes, a running partner/group is very motivating! Gets me out of the door 4x's per week, and I find the motivation to do the other runs on my own.

{about this blog}
Hi I am Cathy. I am trying to lose 47 more pounds.
In 2008, I lost close to 90 pounds. I wanted to start off with a brand new blog to reflect the person I am today, rather than at my heaviest weight of 238 pounds (top pregnancy weight with number six back in November 2007.)
Yes, you read that right. I have six kids. One boy who is ten, and then we have five daughters that are ages 9,7,5,3 and 2. The blog header photo is a photo from October 2008 when I ran my first half marathon in 1 hour, 53 minutes and 36 seconds. I was 150 pounds.
Last year, I was 10K away from racing my very first Marathon. I injured myself, and didn't do any exercise for over 7 months of last year. I am am feeling great again, and I am currently in a 10K clinic which feels great (just did the LTR as well)
I have decided I would rather run, than not run at all. I will not beat myself up over the weight gain. I will get stronger, and when all six of the kids are in school, I can rev myself back up again! No pressure. I still want to run some more half marathons and of course a full. I know I can do it, it is just a matter of good timing.

ReplyDeleteI like the 'gooder'. I will work my way up to you. I think I really need to find a running partner nearby.
