10-10-10 = 10K❤

In honor of 10-10-10...My hubby and I decided to head out and run a 10K! 
That's right! 6.2 miles done in 1 hour and 30 minutes! :)
Me after the big run.

Now yes, we did walk a bit...but a 14 minute mile, even while walking...is impressive for us! WooHoo! 
The whole run went great. I did have a few new pains, but they made me feel more like a runner! My lower back even started hurting! And it's kinda sad that I am excited about this. But I am beginning to feel more like a "real runner" (as opposed to a "fake runner") HaHa! :)

Tonight made me realize that I can definitely do 13.1 miles in March! Even if I do have to walk a bit, I know I can do it! :) I am so excited about my new Goal! I can't wait until March!! :)

I hope everyone had a great 10-10-10! I know I did! :)

  1. Hi there,

    My name is Jeane and I just found your blog through the C25K facebook page.

    I'm in the same boat as you. I started the C25K 6 weeks ago and will finish the program in 3 weeks with the idea of running my first half marathon next April.

    I have no idea if I'll make it by then but am glad I found your page to get the motivation for it.

  2. Thank you for stopping by! :) If I can do this, than you can to! I'm glad your not stopping at C25K either! I think having a half-marathon to look forward to makes it that much more worthwhile! :) Good luck with the program! :)

Park Problem Solved! :)

Looks like I have found my park! It's about 10 min. away driving, but it is totally worth it! My run wasn't all that exciting, but the Park was! :) Here are my new running buddies! :) They are fun to watch while running by! :)  Yes that's my finger...The sun was very bright and I didn't see it! lol :) I just love it all!  Stopping to take pictures! :) I have to Thank my mom who actually Google Maped this Park for me! :) So glad she found it! :)  As for the run, I really don't know how long the trail is, so I don't even know how far I went! I made it all the way around, walking, in less than 15 min. so I am thinking that it is at least a mile. If it is, then I did 3 miles today! If not, then...I don't know! It's times like these that I wish I had my Garmin ! :) For the first 2 laps, I decided to just Run/Walk. I would run 5 min. walk for 1 or 2 min. Then the last lap I just walked the whole time. Just to enjoy it! I just have to say...the hills are

Cowtown Half Recap!

On Sunday, February 24, 2013 I ran my first official Half Marathon!  Before the race started, I met up with these fellow MRTT ladies!  Pic from How My World Runs It was freezing cold (yes 33 degrees is freezing to this Texan! haha) and I was hoping it wouldn't warm up too much because I run so much better in the cold. I ended up wearing my jacket the whole time and was completely comfortable! We had a wind advisory in affect and I think the wind made it even cooler. This was also my first time to run with my new haircut and with my hair down! Didn't bother me at all! Short hair for the win! :) I was in the very last Corral to start. Yes, I know I'm slow. Get Over it!<---Saw that saying on several shirts throughout the race!  Looks like I need one! haha :) I had to post this pic, because I have no idea what I was doing, nor remember even taking it! Haha! About 20 min before the race, I headed to the porta potty's. Yeah, I should have
