Congrats Kim....great time!!

 

[Caitsmama]

Kim.... wow!! Great 5k!! You are gonna rock at the minnie!!! Can't wait to meet up with you!

 

[traceycooper]

well done Kim
glad you enjoyed the race AND found it pretty easy

 

[corinnak]

Kim - it sounds like you had a fantastic race - congratulations! Your time is so good - and that wind sounds like it was so brutal. It really makes a huge difference. Nice work. Oh, and I hope you get your medal. Did you get a t-shirt anyhow?

 

[kimwim8]

Thanks again so much for your support, you guys.

Wasn't able to run today because of some bad rain...but hopefully tomorrow.

In other news....Only one month until my trip to Universal trip. I am soooo excited! I still need to call for some dining reservations. The only one we have is one for California Grill.

BUT - it's time I truly focus on my eating. I can't seem to wrap my mind around the plan I was on before...so I consulted my aunt in PA who works as a nutritionist. Day one went well so far. And I feel great for making it through a whole day without caving. One day at a time!

ETA: - yes, C, we did get tshirts! Not long sleeved ones like the marathoners, but I'll take what I can get.

OK, I'm officially worn out. I ran the 3.57 mile loop again at lunch, by myself this time (running buddy is out today). I zoned into the music (more on that in a bit) and finished in 39.22. (that's an average of 10.99mpm) That's crazy!!! I felt good breathing wise, and had a bit of a twinge in my left calf, but nothing bad enough to make me stop.

As for the music...once I turned around at the 1/2 way point, one of The Hives songs came on that I love. It set me at a good, but quicker pace than I'm used to. I was feeling good when it was over, so I figured I'd just listen to it again to keep me at that pace. I ended up listening to it 3 more times!! I didn't want to slow down or speed up, so I guess it made sense at the time.

But yeah, I'm wiped out right now. Gonna eat lunch and hopefully perk up again.

In other news......
My sisters, mom, the kids and I are going out to eat to celebrate my older sister's 1 year of sobriety tonight. We're all SUPER proud of her!

 

[deekaypee]

Kim:

That's an absolutely fabulous run & time. And I love that you hit repeat on one of your fave songs; I do that all the time, but now I think it sounds like a solid running strategy too!

Have a great day today--you deserve your own celebration, although I think your sister's sobriety anniversary is extra special news!

 

[postesf]

Kim!!! You go girl!!! What an excellent run today! Super proud of you! Isn't it amazing how much difference music can make in your training!?!?

That is so great about your sister! That celebration is well-deserved! That is just wonderful! I'm so happy for and and for your family as well! What a great accomplishment!

Enjoy your celebratory evening!
Stacie

 

[traceycooper]

i find i jog better when a good upbeat song is playing too
Great news for your sister - have a lovely meal with your family

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Kim,

Congratulations on your great run. I hope you had an incredible dinner. A year of sobriety is a huge accomplishment, and she obviously has a wonderful family to support her.

Get soem rest,
Beth

 

[toystoryduo]

Great run and great time, Kim!!! Keep up the good work!

That is wonderful news about your sister! I hope you all had a wonderful time at dinner last night!

Have a great day!

 

[Caitsmama]

Kim, WOW! Good for you on that run!!! You are doing GREAT!!! You will kick some butt next month!

Man, iam gonna have to check out these "hives"... LOL

 

[kimwim8]

Hey all! Just a quick check in for now. We ran the 3.57 mile out n' back at lunch today in 40.17. That was with no music and lots of conversation, so that's really good for us.

Eating is going really well. I have Em's first holy communion this Sunday and we're having lunch at our house afterwards. For the first time in a long time, I'm not looking at that as an excuse to completely pig out. I'm liking how I feel right now and am looking forward to dropping a few pounds before the May trip.

Have a wonderful weekend, guys!

 

[Caitsmama]

Good job Kim!!!

 

[traceycooper]

Have a great weekend Kim

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hi Kim-
Way to go on the race-im so proud of you!!!!!

I cant imagine where you got hooked on the hives! which song was it

 

[kimwim8]

Today was Em's first holy communion. Little girl, no more. We're so proud of her and she really had a great day.

Jen - some crazy lady brought me to a concert and introduced me to The Hives, as well as their hysterical stage crew. I posted the song on the c25k thread, but forget it again. I'll get back to ya!


As for me, I didn't run this weekend. Chose not to, actually. My left leg hurt. Not the calf, per se, but it felt like the bone. Nothing horrible, but enough that a little bouncing around on it at home made me think I shouldn't run on it. I'm giving it a rest til Tuesday and we'll see how it goes. I really think I just need to rest it for a few days and I'll be fine.

Congrats to Miss Emilie! She looks so grown up!

Gotta love the Hives stage crew--the guy got a workout chasing the microphone

and you better be careful with your leg--dont wanna hurt it now!

 

[corinnak]

Yeah, Kim - take care of that leg. I bet you'll feel better by Tuesday. Sometimes the body just needs a little more time to repair and renew - you are wise to listen.

We are at less than a month! Did you see final instructions are up?

Your daughter is so lovely in that picture - congratulations to her and to you on her first communion.

 

[Caitsmama]

Kim, she is so cute!! You must be proud.. that is a very special day!
