Year of the 10K!

Some of you may be aware that I have been trying to get back in shape for quit some time and part of my efforts last year included training for, and running 5k's. I ran quite a few:

Couch to 5k Training Program

Freedom Run 5k

Utah Runner Girls 5k

Charlee's Angels 5k

Thankful 5k

I started this program around the beginning of this year and finally finished it just before running my very first 10k with my lovely friend & training buddy!

Couch to 10k

We will be running another 10k at the end of this month before my family & I relocate to Dallas where I will be running another 10k on July 4th! I'm so happy and excited that I have finally reached this point! I was an athlete while growing up, I played soccer, volleyball, ran track and attempted cross country. I have always loved sports and was always in great shape - getting back in shape is incredibly difficult! I am currently about 15-20 lbs away from my goal weight but I consider the ability to run 6.2 miles (without stopping) a HUGE accomplishment! I am very much looking forward to my upcoming events and reaching my goals!

We did it! This race was pretty difficult, almost entirely in the sun and quite a bit of uphill but we did it!
