FAF 2013: Week 13

Yep...not showing my weigh-in this week. Lets just say, I am REALLY not impressed with myself right now, and move on. Here is my mileage instead :o)

2013 miles as of last week: 110.98
Miles logged this week: 6.61
Total Miles: 117.59 

John and I did the Firefly Run 5k last weekend. I really wasn't sure the weather would hold up, but except for a little misting it was fine. 

I had planned on buying more glow stuff, but we had fun dressing up in bright clothes.

 John spotted some "weights" and had to show off. :o)

Here we are waiting for the okay to start!

It was hard to get decent pictures after it got dark. These really don't do it justice. 


My foot didn't let me run the whole time, but my lungs seemed to do alright. We walked when we had to and ran as much as we could. There were a lot of people walking and running. So many people in all different age groups. Munch would have thought the music was too loud, but maybe we'll try bringing the boys next year. It was really so much fun. This was our second 5K together and we haven't worried really about getting chips to keep our times. It's really more about picking runs that are geared towards fun, however I did time it and we finished in just over 47 minutes. Not my best time, but I'm not worried about it. 

We have The Color Run next week and I am REALLY looking forward to it. Last year was a blast. 
Have a Happy and Healthy week!!

I'll be linking up with Angie!!

FAF 2013: Week 12 Confessions


2013 Starting Weight: 165
Last Weigh In: 158
Current Weight: 161
Lost This Week: 3
Total Lost: 4

::wince:: :o( 

I confess that I've not being doing great since my birthday run. 

I confess that I had to take a week off from any kind of workout because of an injury. 

I confess that this put me in a funk and I started making bad eating choices. I mean just awful choices. 

I confess that I don't always listen to my body. I did run a 5k on Tuesday. During my warm up my right foot started hurting...AGAIN. I ran anyway. The last mile was agony...I did this strange limping run and kinda hobbled the rest of the night. I made one of my best times. :o/ So nope, probably did not learn my lesson. 

I confess that I am slightly terrified of my race tonight, because of my stupid foot. It might rain...there MIGHT be thunderstorms...there is a small part of me that hopes it has to get rescheduled, so that I have some time to get new running shoes that I seem to be over due for. Not thinking this is likely though. So if anyone is at the Firefly Run in Plano tonight and you see a girl limp/running, while singing "I Will Survive"....yeah, probably me. 

Leaving on a decent note, my mileage did go up this week. So yay!
2013 miles as of last week: 105.35
Miles logged this week: 5.63
Total Miles: 110.98

Have a happy and healthy week and hope that I do too!!

Fat Ass Friday: 2013 Edition - Week 1

Linking up with Angie over at Health Not to Health Nut. Go over and join or just support the lovely bloggers that are linking up :o)
 
2013 Starting Weight: 165
 
Weight GAIN 22 pounds from last March when I made it to 80 pounds lost. SIGH. It's okay though. I'm starting over, moving on. Last year was a rough year, emotionally for me. This year WILL be different.
 
Yesterday, I started tracking my food over at Spark People again. (I'm Rencherry if ya want to come join!) I felt hungry all day, but I expected that after the the insane way I've been eating.
 
I'm going to continue my mile a day. 
Photobucket
Miles traveled so far: 7.08
 
I restarted C25K last month and am on week 3 now. It feels so good to be getting back into my grove.
I've already signed John and I up for two 5K runs this year.
The Firefly Run in March
The Color Run in April (check out my post on last year's run HERE.)
Hopefully we'll be adding more to the list. Only fun runs, nothing serious...we are all about fun here :o)
 
Have a happy and healthy week!
