It's official...

...I enjoy training for the Half-Marathon! I did 4 miles on Tuesday and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Granted it took me 1 hour & 6 minutes; meaning it will take me over 3.5 hours to complete the half. Today I did 3 miles and had amazing paces: 14:41, 17:10, & 15:30. You can tell I did a lot of running the first mile and had to slow it down the second mile and I thought I'd be done after that but was able to pick back up in the third. That is what really excited me! Oh & I got up at 6:30 am to do all this (HUGE accomplishment for me!) Every time I set out, I learn something new about me- physically or psychologically. This is turning out to be a great experience already!

Oh, and I haven't been tracking my food (or doing Weight Watchers) so I haven't lost any more weight.... UGH!!!!! I also got a coupon in the mail for 6 weeks for $60 so I think God [literally] sent me a sign that I needed to get back on WW to lose these last dozen (or so) pounds! Maybe next week ;)

**love & skinny hugs =)
