Committed

Incase you were wondering, I didn't end up doing a run again last night. I didn't want to push myself too hard too fast. And my whole body was so sore. So I went to the store to get great "diet" food and snacks for my kids so they don't disown me for all the diet cooking that has been going on here lately. I did get up in the morning yesterday and jog 2 miles (with out stopping) in a little over 20 minutes, not bad for a beginner, and I went for a 60 minute walk with the kids so I felt totally fine not going. Then today I walk/jogged my BUTT off for 80 minutes!!! I worked so hard, let me tell you! There are a few pretty darn steep hills, steeper then I believe a treadmill can incline, and I went up and down those several times! Pushing 55lbs or more of baby weight in their stroller. It's a really great work out for the buns!

So, about my title, you want to know what I'm committed to doing tomorrow??? I can hardly believe that I am doing this. Makes my heart race out of nervousness just thinking about it. Never ever attempted in my life. MORE then that, NEVER thought I would ever WANT to attempt it. (Is that enough of a build up?) I'm jogging in my very first 5K! WHAT AM I THINKING! It's probably the best one I could sign up for because it's through my church, so it's with tons of people I know (maybe that's not such a good thing for them to see me at my absolute worst; sweating and panting and giggling ...oh my... ha ha) and it's also a walk/jog/run with people also doing a 10K. So I know that I wont be coming in dead last because there will be the 10K group that hopefully will finish AFTER me. I have really been debating doing this because it just seems like something you would do AFTER your weight loss slash get in better shape journey, not in the first WEEK! But I have so much support, and my friends have been giving me great advice and encouragement. One in particular said to me that this would be a great opportunity to compare my progress,  like a before and after kind of thing. And she RIGHT... again! This is the same girl that told me to run at night, she has NO idea how much her advice is really changing my life. So, here I go. Doing something I NEVER thought I would do. Crazy... in a good way.
