This is the Weekend...................................

Well, Sunday is the Legs for Literacy event in Moncton. I have registered for the 5K. At the Run for the Cure earlier this month, I had hoped to run the 5K continuously; that did not happen. I did run about 4 of the 5K and I am happy with that accomplishment. I certainly would not have been able to do that a year ago. As good as that was, I was somewhat disappointed that I hadn't run the entire 5K.

This may sound lame to some, but I am out to prove to MYSELF, that I can do this. I have found a great running partner at work. We push and encourage each other every day. Nicole will be running with me on Sunday.

Today I ran 2.39 miles in 28 minutes, so I should be fine. I get such a "high" when I'm done; feels fantastic. Tomorrow I am resting and recovering so I can bust through that 5K barrier on Sunday

I am so greatful for the 2nd chance at life that WLS has given me. I feel like I've lost so much time that now, I just want to get er into high gear and let er rip man! Running has set me free. I hope each of you will find your thing that will liberate you as well.

My daughther is unable to run with me on Sunday; she is playing soccer. This is the 1st time she won't be with me. Yakira loves to run as well so sharing this together has been a great bonus.

Well, have a great weekend everyone.

Go girly go - I am in awe of your accomplishments!

Jeanette I met two ladies at the retreat I was at that are runners now too-  one is doing marathons she lives in Colorado and tells me she runs with the mountains each day......the other gal in Arizona is now competing in triathalons.......

When they talked about it their eyes lit up -they have the runner bug bad and they also both mentioned the high and the freedom! They are sharing this new found fun with their hubby's and have been doing quite a bit of travelling with it - Karen the triathalon girl went to Hawai to do a race!

I think you are doing fantastic and should be so proud of yourself!

Have a fantastic weekend and run!
