Our before race picture .....

AFTER ...

G did his 5k in 37.02
Me in 40.35 minute

This Race is really a Dualthon. That's the main draw for people who do Triathlons.
A Dualthon is running a 5k, biking 21 miles and then running a 5k again!
Crazy people! Fun to watch but Crazy all the same!

and SHE TAKES IT ALL!

Lost 13 pounds and 7 inches in 6 weeks!

No pills, no drinks, just by the sweat of my brow!

Saturday's workout

Today I pressed to do a 5k as quick as I could.

42.28minutes for today's 5k
then I finished my hour of walking with 4.2 miles.

Y Slim Down 2011

I've signed up to do the Y's 2011 Slim Down.

It's been 2 weeks.

I started at 190.

First week's weigh in I had dropped 5 pounds to a fabulous 185!

Second week's weigh in I dropped another 3 pounds for an Awesome 182!

and I fit into my last year Capri pants! yay me!

I always do 60 minutes of cardio.....

but then have a Physical trainer session one day

Do the weight machines 2 days.

I've made the goal to run/walk/jog a 5k

every month from now until November

(I couldn't find one in December)

After a couple of months I'll switch to 10k

Update

Well, I didn't make my 1/2 marathon goal, as a matter of fact I didn't even make the 5k goal either!

I had to have shoulder surgery late January. The doctor knew of my goal and promised me that I'd be fine in a week or two! Well, obviously this doctor hadn't ever had a frozen shoulder, hadn't been my age and didn't know the recovery time.

I tried to see what I could do March 1st and that wasn't good!

I had a good 3 months of therapy on my shoulder and didn't start exercise again steady until June 1st!

Snowned in with my panic on day 79!

Well, after my sign up for the 1/2 marathon, my panic to start working out! It snowed....and snowed. I was snowed in for 2 days. No school, no going anywhere!

Today I finally got the Y where I walked
4:65 miles in 1 hour and 5 minutes.

I have to walk at least 4.3 miles per hour to finish within the 3 hour time limit.
Today I walked one mile at 4.3
two and a quarter at 4.4
and the last 3/4 at 4.5
then the last 5 minutes were the machine's cool down.

82 days and counting ......

.......and PANICKING!

I signed up for the Half Marathon tonight and it's in 82days!

April 2nd is in 82 days!
I'll be there!
I'll be ready!
