It's been far too long since I posted and things have really been going well! On Nov 12th I ran a 12K with my friend Jordan. I finished in 83 minutes fighting CRAZY wind for the last 3.5K. I was kind of dissapointed in my time actually because my time was going SOOO WELL until that last 3.5K. But alas I did finish!
So what's next you ask? Well in January I will start training to do a half-marathon with Jordan. It's on April 29th! Yep, so, my 12K was about 7.4 miles and a half-marathon is 13.1 miles.
It's really interesting, running that is. I never thought I'd like it. In fact I was absolutely sure I hated it. Now I go running 3 times a week. Twice a week it's a *short run* of 3 miles. Even more crazy is to think my definition of a short run is 3 miles. Then I typically do a long run (long for me anyway) of 5 miles on Saturdays. I feel so good when I'm done, and I don't hate it. I'm not sure I'd say I *love* running, but I enjoy it.
So as far as weight, it's still been going down. Certainly I wish it'd go down faster. We are approaching Christmas & Winter break (of 5 weeks) at my school. I've been thinking today that I need to really use that time well to bust some but (pardon the language) and make a dent in this process (like Biggest Loser style). If I could get a significant loss during that time that'd be AWESOME!
