Soldier Field 10 Mile


What a crazy past week. My eating has been pretty good..I am finally under 190 pounds. I am at 189!! Just a pound but it is better than nothing! 7 pounds to go and I will have lost 50 big ones! This weekend was a huge accomplishment for me. I ran the Soldier Field 10 mile race on Saturday. I was very nervous and not sure if I would be able to actually finish. Well I DID!! I am so thankful for so many great people in my life that have been encouraging me! I ran the race in 1 hour 58 minutes and 12 seconds! I was amazed at how awesome it felt to cross that finish line knowing that I ran a consecutive 12 minute mile. This was the first race that my mom got to see so it has been a great Memorial Day weekend! (shout out to Nichole, Crystal, and Jill) It is so wonderful to have people who will tell me in a loving way to “put the gummy bears down!”

This next weekend I am running a 6mile race and I am hoping to run it at a 11 min 30 second  pace…we will see!
