Beka asked me to run a 5K with her awhile ago and being as it is on my list to complete I said sure but started having second thoughts the closer it got. With our house projects going on I have not exercised since the beginning of March and knew I was not in shape at all. Allison came too and I decided I would try to jog as long as I could. I jogged to the 2 mile mark and then got stopped for awhile at a stop sign and lost my momentum and pretty much walked and jogged a little the rest of the way. I finished in 37:52, my personal best and only record. I know it's nothing to brag about just something to improve on. I was proud of myself for finishing. I tried sprinting at the very end as everyone was cheering but just about threw up. I saw Allison ahead of me the whole time and could not catch up. I waited for Beka and she was sprinting hard at the end. I am so proud of the two of us for completing it. I've always been scared of 5k's and realized I just need someone with me to push me because it's so easy to stop and say I'm tired when I'm alone. We'll see if Neil and I can find the time to get out and go together. I've gained even more weight so I could definitely use the exercise.
Neil also started demolition on the fireplace and so there is no turning back.
I am so nervous because really we don't know what we're doing but I've read a lot of blog tutorials and am so excited at the same time!
