5K – Complete!

Well Carter, I did it! I completed my Couch to 5K training program. And last Saturday I ran my 5K. I was lucky enough to have a friend run it with me. And thankfully that friend is pregnant…so she was under orders from the doctor to take it easy…otherwise she would have run me into the ground!
I didn’t run fast. I did run it all though. And I tried my best to just stay positive while I ran it. It was hard for me though to not get frustrated though since I LOVE running 5Ks and I felt like I was in horrible shape for it. I just need to remind myself that I am not even 3 months post-partum and that I’ll get there. I’ll be able to run as fast as I had been 2 years ago before I got pregnant with you…someday. And I’ll lose the remaining 23 lbs I have to lose…someday.

One of my friends made me happy the other day when I was talking to her. I was telling her about how I was frustrated about my weight and her response to me was, “It took you 9 months to gain it!” So that was a nice thought…I don’t have to lose it all now. I will work hard and continue exercising because that is what I love to do and eventually, the weight will come off again. (Maybe laying off the sweets would help too though huh?!? =- ) )
