PERSONAL BEST!

-

today i ran a personal best! I am sooooo excited!

I decided not to run in the 5k that was a local park this morning cause the kids had a Bible Bowl competition and I was a scorekeeper.. but i just got home from my run ! (6.45pmHere)

5k (3.1 miles) in 31 mins 39 sec!

I also ran my best mile EVER .. 8 min 58 secs!
WOW!

was the the nike-plus? the new shoes? the Low sugar- no caffeine diet? the joy of it being so beautiful outside? running WITHOUT the puppy? .. humm..

I am soooooo happy! makes me think i can "be a runner" :)

all for now.. off to go figure out what to fix for supper :)

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...
