49 Days Left!!!!!!!!!

I can not believe how fast the marathon is approaching. 49 Days left!!!!! I'm excited for the marathon and the 5K run next Saturday!!!!! This will be my 3rd 5K run to date. Can you believe it??????????!!!!!!!

I ran 2 miles yesterday in the morning and another 2 miles in the evening. My work place had Mexican Potluck. I didn't eat a lot but the choices weren't as healthy. I'm not going to beat myself up. Guess what else???? I stepped on the scale and weigh 145 lbs!!!!!!! I'm 10 lbs away from my first goal weight. The vitamins and water have also improved. I'm not drinking as much coffee anymore because I'm drinking more water. Funny, huh???

This morning I woke up and ran at Balboa Lake. I did another 5K by myself (3.2 miles). It took me 34 minutes. I'm not going to let the time get to me. I finished and that's what matters. I have to put things in perspective. Two months ago I would not have been able to do this and to have progress this far is an amazing accomplishment. Yes, I can say I'm a runner now and am training like an athlete. I always feel refresh after my runs and workouts. The endorphins starts to kick in and I feel like I'm on cloud 9. That's the best feeling. I never imagined in a million years that I would be doing this. It's amazing what the body will do when your mind allows you to believe in yourself.

I'm going for another run in the evening to finish my workout for today. Keep pushing forward.

Pang, I'm so glad you checked in. Keep running and I will too. Stay positive! Yes you can and you will.

Much love,
