Up til now I've been doing the "I'm a runner" thing pretty half way.
I didn't finish the 8 week walk/run program and even though I've finished two 5Ks and a 10K, and made my time goal on all of them, I still haven't ran a whole 5K straight.
The most I've ran without a walking break is just over 1 mile,
but I'm still celebrating the small victories.
Like last night I ran a mile in under 10 minutes for the first time ever.
I brought a stop watch,
when I passed the mile mark I hit the stop button
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
I open my eyes and looked.
9 minutes and 59 seconds
Victory!!!
Soooo, I'm recommitting.
My goal for the next 5K is to run the whole thing and
to get the whole family involved.
Abby and Gracie both ran with me this week.
Bryce has been running with me for a while.
So now I just need to work on Sam and Nate.
My next race is the Manassa Pioneer Days 5K
on the 24th of July.
Who else will run it with me?

I am not a taker....sorry. But proud of you!
I have signed up for it! AND I have actually ran every day since I have been home from Denver (4).
I would love to run a 10 minute mile--I am also up to running a mile with out stopping!
I will run the 5K with you!
