Seriously. He's 6 months old - why does he insist on growing up so fast??? Yesterday he finally got the hang of crawling on a flat surface - he's been making his rounds for a month, and outside on a blanket in the grass he had the mechanics of the movement down, but inside he still couldn't get it. But last night he put it all together, started crawling and subsequently brought himself over to the coffee table and climbed up it. I'm dying here.
Otherwise, my 5k was good; I cut nearly 5 minutes off my last minutes off my last official race (although it was still slower than my last run on my own) and I have another in 3 weeks. My goal had been that I would wait to start adding on distance until I could do 5k in 30 minutes, but I don't honestly know when that will happen so I'm thinking of adding a mile after this next run. That way I can get the hang of 4 miles for a while and then move up to 5, etc.
I don't think I have it in me to sprint to the end of the race on BBL, and win or anything. I think I would have to not eat for the next month. I have lost 19 lbs and counting though, which puts me at lighter than I've been in 8 years. So I'm going to keep chipping away at it, and I'm not giving up. I have 25 lbs I'd like to lose. Doing as much as I have in the last two months, weight wise and running wise has only shown me that I can do it. I can. And I will run that 10k in November.
And if I can do it, you can too; 6 months ago I would have laughed in your face if you told me I was going to be this active or this motivated.
On a lighter note, I was almost out of the house this morning when I realized that the shirt I had on had a 1-inch hole in the nipple area. The cream colored bra I had on masked it for me and I was about 30 seconds from being in the car on my way to work. How embarrassing would have that been? Eek!
