Runnin my life away

Last year we ran our first two races. The first one was a 5k in banks and the second was the Warrior Dash which we will do every year for the rest of our lives, we loved it that much! 

After our very first 5k


And this was after the muddy warrior dash obviously!

Well sense then we have been dieing to do more races (we kind of got the racing bug) but kind of got lazy and didn't really have the spare money at the time. Well we just signed up for a 4th of July 5k. Our first race of the new year.


So sense we have a race on our calendar we have been running and trying our hardest to get in shape. I don't think i could have picked a better husband to support me in all my crazy ideas of "fun" i have such as training for a half marathon. This 5k is just a stepping stone in our training. We are planning on running a half marathon in October which i am excited and very nervous for.

Tonight i ran 3.5 miles in 36 minutes which isn't all that great but it didn't hurt and i probably could have went farther and harder which is very motivating.


Right now i can only run a mile in 8:47 but i am trying to whittle that down to at least a sub 8 mile.

My 2 mile time is 18:30 which i also would like to cut down a bit.


For the 4th of July 5k i would LOVE to run it in sub 30!
So there is a few of my goals at this point we will see where it goes from here. Wish me luck!
