Idyllwild 10K

Today was my 10K (6.2 miles)in Idyllwild and the scenery was awesome! It was super cold in the morning,elevation was above 5,000 feet and the course was hilly, but I did it, I didn't stop I kept going!! My time was 1:19:53 I was aiming for 1:20 woohoo! Andrew ran the course with me for support :). Next week my training begins for the Disney Half Marathon (13.1 miles) in September.

Vegas!

My guy and I went to Las Vegas earlier this month to get things done before the wedding. We got our wedding license, and we saw the venue, it is so beautiful, he was amazed on how pretty the location was. Soon my mom and sister will be with me to pic out my wedding dress :)

I DID IT!!

I Did It! I ran my first 5K, I have been training since January for this and I never in a million years would have thought I would run in a actual event ( I never thought I would be running period!). It was really hot that morning and because of my nerves my mouth was super dry but I got threw it and didn't stop once! I ran all 3.1 miles in 38 min. It was awesome having my mom and sister there along with Andrew cheering me on! Like Andrew did for me,I thing I inspired my mom and sis to get out there and join an event!

Super Incredible Kids Day!

At work we have a week of silliness for the kids, we have a dress like a rock star, twins day, crazy hair day, pajama day and a super incredible kids day were they dress like a superhero. It was a lot of fun and yesterday I dressed up like Kim Possible (I didn't have a red wig) I am holding a Kim Possible doll in my hand, the kids loved it, and my coworker dressed as Wonder woman!

One Month Away!

I am training for my 5K and I am so nervous but super excited at the same time! Its one month away and been training hard. My guy is excited to be on the sidelines cheering me on!

Shadowbox

For my guys b-day on March 21st I wanted to finally do his shadowbox of is first Half Marathon (Disney Half Marathon). I was going to buy a custom one online but I think it will mean more to him if I did it myself, also the one online is over $200! So I was browsing online just to get some ideas (this pic I found on a blog), I really have to research a project before I do it because I don't want to screw anything up. I need to incorporate his bib number, a certificate they sent him with his time, place and rank, his metal and of course pics. I got a really nice frame at Joann's a 12x12 black shadowbox, I need to add a foam back to pin his metal in. I will share pics as I work on it.

My Journey

I have been on an incredible journey, and thought I would share it with all who might come across this blog. Here is a pic of me and my wonderful guy August 31st 2008 and now February 14Th 2009 about 5 months and 62 lbs lighter. I have about 26 more pounds to be at my goal and will not stop there. Wow, it still blows my mind when I look back at pic's just 5 months ago.
