DAY 100!

I cant believe I actually made it! YIPEE! 100 days without missing a workout!

This morning I was out the door at 635am.. the stars were out and the street lights were still on.. it was amazing out there.. so quiet.. so peaceful! I was surprised to see so many people out and about this morning ..but it was nice.. made me feel safe. It was cool so I wore a t-shirt with a long sleeve shirt over it..(with my running skirt).. I was so hot at the end of my first two miles I had to shed the long sleeve and tie it around my waist. I walked most of the third mile and jogged the last mile. I was happy with my time on the first two miles.. which i really pushed myself.. i did it in 18 mins.. nine min miles not too bad for an old mom like me.. I guess.:)

{please notice the size JR seven capri pants I got for my birthday! JR!.. thats right ladies.. these hips that have carried three almost 10lbs babies are fittin into JRS! woooowhoo)
