Challenge

I just got back from running at the Y with Stephanie. I hadn't run on a treadmill in weeks and I was kind of nervous about it. I have definitely gotten faster! I used to be happy to run at a 4.0 for the duration, but today I maintained a 4.2 to 4.6 for the duration. We weren't scheduled to run today, but we got rained out yesterday. At about a mile in it started to downpour! I was going to finish our loop, but a girl behind me started yelling for me. She said that she was asthmatic and that she was having a hard time breathing and it was scaring her, so I walked back with her. Stephanie was close behind her and walked with us too. It stated to hail when we were about half way back! It was crazy!

The Mizuno rep was at GoRun. I tried out so shoes on my run. They were a little small, but seemed okay. It was hard to concentrate on how they felt with the rain and hail and all that. At least my shoes didn't get soaked? ;) They had a giveaway too. Winning something is on Stephanie's Bucket List, so I told her on the way there that she was going to win something and she did! She won a pair of Mizuno shoes! How awesome is that!?

Get Fit: Coast 2 Coast Challenge starts Monday!!! I'm so excited! If you haven't checked this challenge out yet, you should. There is a chance to win some moolah! I'm going to push really hard for the duration of the challenge! Hopefully I can win! Regardless, I'm going to try to lose 15lbs during the challenge. It will end the Monday after our 10k, so another goal of mine is going to be to finish the 10k in a certain amount of time. I'm not sure what yet. I want to get a couple more 5k's under my belt before I decide.

I am so ready for this week to be over! Today feels like it should be Friday! Gaahhh! I was thinking about taking tomorrow off, but I could really use the overtime!

That's all for now!
