5K AMs, Accomplished, & Great News!!!

This morning, the alarm sounded at 6:30AM. The sun had barely peeked over the trees and I was not looking forward to an early AM run. I kept catching myself saying I didn't get enough sleep... I'm too tired to attempt this and so on and so forth. But my husband in his muffled sleeping voice kept telling me how proud he was which did resonate in my head... Finally I forced myself out of bed. I am so happy I had. This morning was great. Even though it has been over a year since one of our races and I am honestly not in the shape I used to be... it is so motivating to see how many individuals from our honeymooners class will be running the White Rock Marathon and Half for Team World Vision.

This morning I only ran about a good two plus miles... I'm hoping that one of these days I can find a path by our apartment that is a little more accurate for a 5K. Regardless I am proud. This morning felt great... don't get me wrong. I was completely out of breath and my face looked like a ripened tomato but no stitches or pains which has always been the worst part for me. Plus I even got proposed to! Some random guy on a bicycle (older gentleman) told me he was proud and I was doing a great job. He said I looked beautiful and asked if I would marry him. Then he questioned me if I was dating anyone. I kindly told the man I was married but thanked him for the compliment and went on my marry way... looking so incredibly "beautiful" with sweat covering my face which happened to be that glowing red I previously mentioned. Ha! But all in all a great start to the morning.

So I will leave you with this... I would love to say that I will be so incredibly motivated and go running 3-4 mornings out of the week... but lets be real. I am just so excited about getting back into great shape and helping such an amazing cause. More posts will be coming shortly to keep you updated on our running status. Only 137 days left until the race.
