i did it

I did it!! I ran my first 5k yesterday. Thanks to my blog friend who turned me onto the couch to 5k training program.....i followed the whole program to a T and ran my 5K at the end of week 8.

I definitely have the running bug now. It was really hard because I've been training on flat surfaces and there were some killer hills which I didn't know about....but glad I didn't because I probably would have chickened out.

So I'm ready to master the 5k and then start training for the 10k. Running has become a huge stress reliever for me and it's something I can do during lunch at work or when I'm traveling....because as a working mom that's really my only me time.

So thanks again PWDT!!! I bloggy love you and can't wait to meet up for our destination race this spring.

Go Nicole! Good for you on the training. When I went on the Tunnel to Towes run last month, I didn't train. It was tough. I ran and walked. I need to train now so that I can run the full 5k. You look great:)

I'm so freaking proud of you! You did it! All on your own too. You didn't need a crazy freak threatening to bang on your door at 5am, like I do. You just fucking did it! BAM!!

Our destination race will rock and the margarita's and pizza afterward will rock even freaking more baby!

P.S.
Not only do you look like a pro, you look like a SMOKIN' pro! Rock it!
