Things have been a bit crazy I am teaching summer school and trying to get into some sort of summer workout schedule so, I can drop these last 5 pounds before I scream. I am so close to my 50pounds but it seems so far away and almost unattainable at this point- but it is only 5 pounds!!
I am starting to ride my bike. My best ride has been 18miles. No too bad at all!! I really enjoy biking it is so much fun and so relaxing!
I have done two more races- first was the Jim Gibbons Traffic Jam 5K in the city. It was a very fun race that I ran with great friends. My goal was to beat Crystal and that did not happen but I did beat my personal record. I ran this 5K in 34:25. So my miles were about 11:04! Awesome and I am so proud of myself!!! It has been so much fun to race with great friends who are so supportive.
I also ran the Kilbride Family 5K race for autism and that was also very fun! I was the only one from my normal group who ran this one but they all came to cheer me one and that made this race so special! I was not running this race to beat any of my times but I wanted to be consistent. I finished in just over 36minutes so a 12-minute pace…..works for me. I feel great about my running now I want to decide if I want to do the Chicago ½ marathon!
I finally decided to take a full body photo of myself; the last one I have really taken was on graduation from Olivet. So below you will see it! I have lost tons of inches and 45 pounds!

So Far:
You look fantastic! I never thought I would like running but I love it. I have never done the Chicago half but the indymini Half marathon is a great one. It is the first weekend in may every year. Congrats on accomplishing so much!
