5k Here I Come!

<p>Today I’m running my first race, of many, in 2012!! Its been almost 18 months since I’ve ran a race! My last race was the <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/10/applefest-5k.html">Applefest 5k</a> and little did I know I was 4 weeks pregnant!</p> <p>Lots has happened since then and I’m on the road to getting fit again! My hope is to use races as motivation to continue working out and eating healthy!</p> <p>Ok…back to today! I’m running a race 5k in my hometown! I love local races!!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvMT9sQBx41ep0cJcAbXrgQwmpNp81bsYeDSNhwdj-Mf6ZyfHmBO0pVjQk2Kp6qvahBZiKQIOMs9b-xzlj9yVAh-csQBGTUa4fPchnCgZPYypiqBkJe8LyvFItTz4q2rw5dSM2ULwfmn2i/s1600-h/image%25255B4%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiN8Pj5mzAwW-w2c2JHvqpNogMsX6X3FEMDSThKmWpNSXr82BNLE2YfnUz9oZGNAc_yJ9PRpkRUkRTO4xFaGYOFYm4f4XSqEXndmt9cBwXWNoYCdxM2nhwi3hVguBGCmxocnFuo8KNYMKc/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" width="404"></a></p> <p>I have mixed feelings about today. I’m excited, nervous, and scared all together! I’ve been running 2-3 times/week for the past 3 weeks. My longest distance was 2.5 miles in 28 minutes. So we’ll see how today goes! I just have to keep telling myself “I can do this!”. </p> <p>I’ve had a good pre-race breakfast: 1/2 waffle topped with peanut butter and a 1/2 banana.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1tGONYKBl93wXyxsAG3yLziLnffJROQwLSwspzkRxxY6RPPR-n7jGwwht5VLfXcIGHtBWatMCUCdtZrUkScCJ7kk23kfqnCRmZUT2GWz_tYoTV5bSjcyA1Jf7YDvSN8JA4B8g3Qv_dSyE/s1600-h/IMG_1405%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1405" border="0" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf54Aq0f_xjZhVdz19_YhXLUoL3yma18p6Xbl-j_B2WxVRLJH7e6HPUMi4IE5qtJTB-7lkRDD7ap9KDVy0wjj3RhtkRobXmv61aogPqvNF6YdxmuV67e9W7IkQJihN0xYoZ1KZ-ADwqVBL/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_1405" width="404"></a></p> <p>Oh and this little cutie helped me finish the other half of that banana!
