At first I didn't think I would survive. It was so cold but after the first mile, that was up a pretty steep hill at the end, I took off my jacket. This picture was taken by my father in law during the 2nd mile. The only time I stopped was at the top of that first hill for a few seconds and then ran the rest of the time. Even when I took off my jacket and gloves. It was also good because people I viewed as being better shape than me were breathing harder than I was. hehe!! That made me feel good. There was also a couple that would run past Adam and I and then walk and then would decide that they couldn't be behind us so they would run past and it would start over again. That was a fun game. Made me giggle. Gees, I'm sorry but this is a good pic. hehe!! The race shirt was almost the same color as my shirt. Awesome. Kyle ran ahead of us just shortly after we started and Adam ended up sprinting at the end. I just kept my pace and finished under 40 mins. It was more fun than I thought and my niece Lindsay is right. I think I'm addicted. Kyle and I are already talking about running the New Years 5K.
So I didn't loose much this week just .2 ounces but I think that is what happens the week before Aunt Flo. Oh well. I lost a pound the week before so I am down 67 pounds and 33 pounds from my goal. I may not make it do my one year mark but it will be close. So I will be adding more pics and a video on Facebook. Thank you everyone for your support, encouragement, and love through this journey with me.
