i'm not sure how long it's been since my last update, months and months i guess. last saturday i ran in my first 5k run. it was so cool, even though it rained. i've been practicing for a couple months hoping to be able to run the whole way but i didn't quite do it. i had to walk a few times. i registered the same day for next year's run. my mission is to be able to run the whole way by then. no way could i imagine doing a marathon! man o man that would finish me off for sure. so, 5k it is.
off i go - D.

it's been awhile. since christmas i've gained about 5 lbs. not good. so, i've started a new challenge. i signed up for a 5k fun run in june. i've never really run before so this will be slow going. last thursday, march 8th i went out for the first walk/run. i went about 6k i think, it took 1 1/2 hours. today i went again, not sure how far this time but i was out for 1 hour 20 mins. i have a pedometer but it wasn't working, i think it might be ok now for next time. i walk a lot, run a little. i hope by june it'll be at least 50/50. we'll see.
i have to admit i have been probably eating more than i was. it's so hard in the winter, being in all the time, snacking at night. thankfully i'm still managing to stay away from the chips, my favourite food ever! i go for the unsalted nachos instead. maybe not better, i don't know, but they do the trick.
i'll be back in two weeks, hopefully under an hour by then.
later, D.
