New Training Program AND My Baby Niece turns ONE!!!

So, since my first official run... I am addicted!!! I'm starting a training program for a half marathon! I will start tonight... I tried to start last week, but it was cut short after our trip to Tennessee and the SNOW! Anyway... I'm going to run my short 4 mile run tonight.

On another note, we went out of town this weekend to celebrate my nieces first birthday. I know there are a lot of 1st birthdays, but this one was VERY SPECIAL! My sister's water broke when she was only 22 weeks pregnant, she delivered MaKenzie at 29 weeks, she weighed 3lbs. 4oz. Today... she is one year old and a CHUNK!!! God is so good and we are so thankful to him for letting us have her in our family! Also, she has NO problems at all that you might expect with such an early birth! A MIRACLE BABY!!!

Completed my first 5K!!!

Wow, it's been forever since I've been on here! I'm sorry, I will try to post more often. Life sometimes just gets busy. Last week was 3 birthdays in my house, so I've been in party planning mode for some time! My husband and I had a birthday on Wednesday and our daughter turned 6 on Saturday. I'm not 28 years old, woohoo! Anyway, back to the post. I ran my first 5K on Saturday morning. I was joined by my husband, brother in law and my cousin. It was sooo cold and raining. Everything was frozen over, brrr. It was 33 degrees when we ran! My time was 28min. 44sec. I was very happy with this time. I usually run it much faster, but I'm usually not running outside in that weather! I was very proud considering that only 6 months ago I was 155 pounds and could barely walk 3.1miles without huffing and puffing! My husband finished in 32min. 14sec., this was an awesome victory for him as well. I was so proud of all of them out there with me that morning! We had a blast!!! Can't wait for the next run. We are doing another run in March, I'm going to train for the 10K this time!!! Set goals!!!
