I can't believe I am at WEEK 20! That means this Friday will be my 100th blog!

Wow! 20 weeks of me going up and down with both my weight and my emotions. I am so thankful to my friends for faithfully reading and encouraging me for 20 weeks!


Did you guys have a good weekend?

I had a fantastic weekend, thanks for asking!


Where to begin???

Friday I went to Fashion Bug because I had a $10 coupon to spend. I am officially out of the plus size side of their store. I bought a size 14 - and it was a 14 in the misses department, not a 14w!

Woot! Woot!

Also, Octavio and I went to JcPenney and found a great deal on some new running clothes. I got two sports bras, a pair of spandex (for under my shorts of course), a pair of running shorts, and a shirt for under $40! The bras alone should have been $22 a piece!

Saturday I ran the Champions 4 Her 5K with LaVonda. Well, I ran the first two miles of it with her anyway! Then she took off like a bat out of you-know-where.

The course for this race took us over the Clark Memorial Bridge which connects Louisville to Indiana. It was really pretty.

So, how did I do?

Well, you might remember my race back in April, where I raced my way to a new personal record of 31:25. I was hoping to do better than that this time but was a little concerned. I haven't had much outside training because of my tendinitis. In the last two weeks I had only ran outside three times and the last time I struggled a little.

I knew LaVonda would push me, but I also knew I wouldn't be able to hang with her for the entire race. I had a little bit of a tough time during that last 1.1 mile but I won the mental battle. I kept telling myself I could do it!

And boy did I do it...

My new PR is...

28:23!

I found this awesome calculator that allows you to easily figure out your pace time. My pace for this race was a 9 minute 8 second mile. That is 6.6 mph!

Watch out Andrew! Pretty soon you won't be able to keep up with you sister!

You all are already at WEEK SIX of your training for our 5k! In only a few short weeks we'll all be sweating together!

I can't wait to get all stinky with you!

Well, we spent Saturday afternoon and a lot of Sunday lounging around at my mom and dad's in Clarksville, TN. My mind and body are still in "lazy mode" but today is going to be a busy day. Grocery shopping, cleaning, exercising and VBS are on the agenda so I'd better scoot.

P.S. Please pray for a healthy, speedy delivery for my great friend, Karrie, who is being induced as I type. I can't wait to meet you Elliott!
