It's been a few weeks, so I'll do a quick little recap, though it won't be all that detailed. The biggest thing for me to report on is my 10k that I ran for the 4th of July! I finished it in 1 hour and 12 minutes! Not bad for a first 10k huh? I didn't even have to stop and walk any of it! There were some hard parts though. Mile 4 is when I first started to feel tired. The route took an uphill loop around the State Hospital down in Provo, and it felt long! But after the uphill came a nice downhill to catch my breath and gain a little speed without so much effort! Just after the 5 mile mark however, came the hardest stretch, it was a long, steady uphill for pretty much the remainder of the race! Given how tired I was already getting, this felt like it would last an eternity! The final corner brought a welcome sight: The Finish Line! This was a boost for those last few hundred feet and I finished strong! As hard as the races can be at certain points, I'm hooked to that feeling of accomplishment you get when you finish, the rush you get during the race as people cheering you on, and the strength I gain from running regularly! I love running!
The past couple of weeks since then, I've done a variety of different things. I've been taking advantage of my gym membership that I get through work, using cardio equipment, and trying some weight machines. My husband and I have been doing some work around the house, reorganizing, cleaning, and painting our bedroom! So, while those aren't really a structured workout per se, they have kept me pretty active! Now all I need to do is get my self focused back on my nutrition.... That's the hard part for me! I just like my sweets too darn much! One day at a time right?
