So I started running in October of 2010. I started because I had gained alot of weight, I was tired all the time, and I had lost all energy and motivation to get off my butt ever.
A friend of mine, Sam, talked me into running with him and I will admit, I HATED IT!! It was awful! It hurt, I couldn't breathe, and I just didn't want to do it!!
But by Thanksgiving I was already doing my first 5K. It was freezing but I did it. I finished and even beat the mayor :)
Since then I have done a lot more 5Ks and even quite a few 10Ks :)
I lost quite a bit of weight running, I feel healthier, stronger, and all around just better!
The more I run, the more I want to.
I am registered for my first half marathon which takes place in less than 2 weeks! EEK!!!
Here are a few photos from some of the runs I have done.
These are from my first 5K.
Cottonwood Heights Thanksgiving 5K
I actually ran this one with Matt's parents. His dad did awesome!!
Leprechaun Lope 5K March 2011
Running with me was Sam, Rich, Lindsey and Petra
Breast Cancer Awareness Walk
Matt, Brady, my friend Heather and her hubby walked it with us
My first 10K
It was awesome!
Sam and Linsdey ran it with me :)
This one has to be my favorite.
My running buddies Sam and Cameron ran the 10K with me, and my kiddo did his very first 5K!
I got my 10K time under an hour and Brady won second place. His friend beat him by only .4 seconds.
They both finished in under 30 minutes!
Me and Brady ran this 5K together, just us :)
