3.75 miles

I needed to go to the library and I wanted to get some exercise. Soooo, I did both! You may be wondering how I know exactly how many miles I run--well, there is this awesome website called mapmyrun. I used it and found out that the library was only about 2 miles away. So, I ran to the library and walked back with a couple of books. I checked out 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' and I already love it.

Oh and German and I are going to do the Moab Winter Sun 10K on December 6th. I'm excited--I really needed something to work towards to keep me motivated. I have nine weeks to try and get down to a 10 minute mile!

I went...walking

I didn't give myself very much time this morning and I had to get back before German left. Sooo, I just walked 1.5 miles with my five pound handweights. I figured it was better than nothing--I kept telling myself I'd go back out and run with the girls in the stroller later. Yeah right, I finally showered at 2pm. Friday will be a good 3-4 miles for sure! I signed up for a 5K up at Hill Air Force Base next Saturday the 11th. It should be fun and it's free! German has been wanting to go to the museum since we've lived in Utah (he, like many other males, drools over planes), but I've always made excuses not to go (I, myself, am not a big fan). So, this works out perfect, I'll be running while he shows the girls all the cool planes. I'd really love to finish the race in 30 minutes, but we'll see how things go this Friday. I don't know if I can make that happen in one week!

P.S. I technically still haven't had any sweets. I say technically because I bought some sugar free Hershey's chocolate chips and I've eaten a few. They were REALLY good and didn't taste sugar free, so I felt like I'd cheated. I haven't had any more, though. I am going to try to keep this up until Halloween--do you think my body will go into some sort of sugar shock if I binge on candy that night? Let me know...

I went running!

Yay me! After two weeks of only doing some yoga streches and light exercises at home, I finally got my butt outside and did a 2.8 mile run/walk. It felt good and the weather is soooo nice. I am going M W F, so hold me to it! If I don't post about it than I am in trouble. Bytheway, I am only about 3 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight and I can wear my pre-prego clothes again!!! I am REALLY happy about that, but I still want to lose about 10-15 more.
