New Developments

Hello, my lovely friends and family!

Last week, I slipped a little on the exercise, but I'm back to running! Yesterday and today, I ran further than I have in the past, so I'm really proud of that accomplishment. :) Right now, I can run to the next street over without stopping, and then I walk about a quarter block, then run to the next street, then walk about half of the next block, then run to the stop light. My next fitness goal is to be able to run to the stop light without stopping, which, sadly, is only about half a mile. But, to use the cliche, you have to walk before you can run! After I conquer that goal, I'd like to be able to run to the fire station, then to the fire station and back to my house. I'm feeling pretty good about being able to meet my goals fairly soon.

Also, I found a 5K that I really want to run in. Wow! I never thought I'd say that. I already promised my mom that I would run the community 4th of July 5K with her, but I found another one in June that sounds like SO much fun. Its called the Neon Splash Dash, and it is at the OC Great Park in Irvine on June 14th. If you have any interest in running with me, let me know!! I would love to have a team to run with.

My parents and I watched the season finale of the Biggest Loser on Monday. I was so happy that Danni won! I've been rooting for her all season. I feel this connection with her, because her story seems so similar to mine. I realized just two nights ago that if she can do it, so can I. And if I look as kick-ass as she did in her finale dress, there will be nothing that can stop me. I love it when I find new inspiration!

Thank you all again for you spoken and unspoken support. It all means a lot to me, no matter how you show it. I love you all for that!
