Balloon Chasers Fun Run


Last weekend I ran in a 4 mile off road fun run and guess what I had fun! So it lived up to it's name.  I entered because they sent me a last minute email saying I'd get $5 off since I had been in their spring fling tri and I thought why not "All proceeds provide better education, research, teaching, and scholarship opportunities for students involved in Sport Administration to ensure a happier and healthier tomorrow."  How could I say no to that!   I have been in desperate need of some motivation and what better way to get motivated then getting your butt kicked at a race.  I placed 2nd F OA but it was a VERY SMALL race but I'll take what I can get! ;-) I finished the 4 miles in 35 minutes, even with stopping to give my son a high 5 on lap 2.  Which I was super happy with considering how out of shape I feel.  I almost puked on the second loop on the hilly part but I pushed on.  Even though the second loop was 1 minute slower than the first I was just happy I didn't have to walk.  Hubs and son did one loop on their own walking and we got to see some balloons go up.

Work has me really depressed and stressed so any family fun time and run time I can get in I consider a win.  I have another 5k in a couple of weeks this one benefiting the department my husband is in at the University.  So I guess my workouts have come down to any race I happen to enter!!!  No really I will get back on track ASAP!  I'm eating a banana as we speak and am planning my workout for tonight.  I get to go on a quick 4 day trip to Colorado this weekend with the fam to see my best friend so today is my Friday and I am determined to come back refreshed.



Photobombed!
Oh yeah and I'm taking an online Forks Over Knives cooking class as if I needed something else to do!  The first lesson I had to "reset" my pantry and refrigerator.  For me this mean cleaning and organizing.  They wanted you to get rid of all processed foods so I may have blamed the ones left on my husband......



Happy Friday!!!  Happy Training!!

That laugh!  This is why I do what I do...
