10 MILES???????????

Yes that's right!  I ran my first 10 Miler run today, 10/14/12.  It was tough, but I finished and i have the medal to prove it.  

When I got to mile 6 my legs got heavy and i got tired, my breakfast started wearing off and I was pooped, but i trudged on and continued with my powerade and water and stopped at all the water stations the rest of the way to refuel and I made it!

The fan support from my fellow Bay Are Fitters as well as my Juliana, Sloan, Lauren and Thomas was amazing and helped me keep going!  Thanks to my cheerleaders for the day!

Here is the medal, isn't it pretty?

Next Saturday 10/20/12, I am running the next bridge series 10k and working for this medal.  That bottom part of the medal is a bottle opener, guess what I'll be wearing to parties from now on?  LOL!:

Happy 8th Anniversary My Love!

Well today is our 8th Wedding Anniversary, what a day it was too.  PHEW!  8 years!!! that is awesome and very exciting!  I couldn't ask for a better husband and father than i got in Walt.  He is awesome.  He may drive me nuts sometimes but overall he is a great man, husband and father.  He works his ass off to make sure his family is taken care of and provided for.

He even surprised me today by sending me a dozen pink roses and a box of chocolates at my office.  I was truly surprised by the deliver as i was not expecting anything since we just moved into our new house.

Anyhow what an exciting and very happy 8th anniversary to us!

Here is a picture of us on our wedding day and then a picture of the beautiful pink roses i received.  :-)

Toughest 10k Kemah

Well today I accomplished a goal.  I finished the Toughest 10k Kemah run.  This run entailed going up and over the Kemah bridge 4 times and back to the Kemah boardwalk for the finish line.  I finished and that's what I am most proud of.  my time was 1 hour and 33 minutes and a few seconds.  This time actually turned out good since it is about 3 minutes faster than the 10k I ran in March for the Seabrook Lucky Trails Marathon Relay.

Considering I was unable to workout at all the week before Kemah and was busy moving out of our old house and into our new one, i am VERY proud of myself.  The exciting part is the bling medal i received for finishing, it's so pretty!  I love it.

I am very proud of myself for accomplishing this run for 2012!  Now on to Toughest 10k Galveston...
