The BIG 3-OH!

Fat Tuesday? Well... Technically its not but it always feels this way lately. Isn't it soooo much easier to stay focused during the week???...And then the weekend comes and I loose it! Ok so, last weeks goal was to run everyday! Update:

Monday- I didn't wake up as planned in the am to run. (Off to a bad start) Lunch time came and I wanted to eat but told myself I HAD to get it in. I decided to gear up and I ran to GNC, got some vitamins and then I ran to Jimmy Johns, sat and ate a sandwich and then I jogged back to work. Total of 1.5 miles. Not the greatest but it was something.

Tuesday- Even though it was Tuesday and I usually only run in the am MWF, I figured Monday was rough start. So Tuesday am I was up and at em! I did 2 miles in 20:17!! It is HUGE for me to maintain 10 min/mile pace for 2 miles! I was super HAPPY!

Wednesday- Am run 2 miles in 20:35. Slower than Tuesday but still in my 10 min/mile range=HAPPY!

Thursday- I was feeling down bc I didn't wake up for the am run, lunch time came I grabbed a smoothie and went shopping. The routine of the day kids, homework, dinner, baths etc was starting to get me in excuse mode, so I decided I HAD to get it in. I went full on BEAST mode and cranked out a little 5k action!!!! 3.1 miles in 31:06! My personal best time!!! Maintained my 10 min/mile pace for the entire 5k! Wha..What??? Super Proud!

And that my friends concludes the awesomeness of my week! Friday came, I was off of work and we headed out of town. We went to the Balloon Fest in Natchez, MS. We were on foot the whole weekend and I did log over 10 miles of walking over the weekend. My sister in law lives a little less than 2 miles from the bluff so we walked to and from a good 6 times. But other than that, No running & lots of eating! :(

So its officially ma birthday week! Yes yes..the BIG 3-0H!!! Not really feeling one way or another about it. The last few years of life have been a bit of a roller coaster, to say the least! Im ready and looking forward to continuing to work on making myself happy and healthy and all the fun that comes along with that! :D 

So at the end of last year, I was urged by Shannon, as every year, to write a list of goals "New Year Resolutions" for the year. In years past, I never participate in this routine bc I never follow through with half the things on the list. Well since October last year I have been in a routine and doing great staying focused so I thought..Why not..I need this! It will be fun and helpful to stayed motivated to check things off the list. So I DID IT! I decided to call it 30 BEFORE 30!  

I think I've done pretty well checking things off the list.  Ive already started making my next list of goals (keeping the ones I haven't gotten to yet) and look forward to crossing them off one by one! :D
