Weekend Update/ My FIRST 10K!

I cant believe I am almost finished the cleanse... this cleanse is awesome! I feel amazing!!!!

Friday I went and picked up my bike with the new clip in pedals and got some clip in shoes to go with it!

Saturday I did my first 10k, I didnt think I was ready so I was going to run as far as I could then run/walk the rest, well I surprised myself and ran the WHOLE THING!!!!!

I get half way to downtown Houston and realize I left my time chip and my bib at home - I was assigned 69, but talked to volunteers and got 2000 to run with, no timer chip, but I have RunKeeper ap for that anyway. We started 3 1/2 min after they shot the gun, there werent as many runners as the Rodeo Run, but it was still pretty packed in there!

This is my first run with the energy chews, I had one at the 5k mark, another at 6k, and another at 7k. I was feeling good and as always the hardest mile was the 2nd for me.... I dont know why, but it was.

I did not realize I was going to run the whole way until I hit the 8K marker, each kilometer was sponsered by different companies, except this one, it was in honor of a runner who had passed... and it made me smile, and start to cry at the same time because I realized that I COULD run a 10k and was going to run it out, AND I knew my daddy was watching me and proud of what I was doing. He ran some too, not sure what his PR was, and I asked my mom this weekend and she didnt think he ever ran far, but I dont think she knows either. I love moments like that when I can connect with him. I know he has been gone 20 years, but with March 2 being his birthday- it was nice to have that moment!

Sunday I had to go on a bike ride and try out my new gear, I was tired, my legs were sore from the run, but I wanted to try em out... it was windy, super windy, but I did it!

 

Then I came home and cleaned up and went to Walmart - I HATE that place, but I knew they had what I wanted, REDBOX and a foam roller...

it was a cute movie, but I love sappy chick flicks... and I foam rolled while watching, it did help! my legs arent as tight today!
