Final countdown to Race for the Cure

This Saturday morning I will be doing the walk for the Race for the Cure in Salt Lake City. I've been signed up for 4 months now so this feels like it's been a loooooong time coming :). In preperation for this day I am going to find everything pink I can from Ribbon for my hair down to shoe laces. I am also going to get in three work outs with Jazzercise during the week since I'll be missing Saturday due to this race.

So pretty busy week overall! I'm just excited to be doing this for such a good cause and that I was able to wrangle up team mates and donations!

I'm sure I'll be posting pics this weekend, wish us luck! Go Team ROCKY ROLLERS!

My first 5K results

Well I did it! I completed my first 5 K. I did so in 1 hour 1 min and 35.5 seconds.
Let me tell you it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. For one I'm carrying over 200lbs of extra person on me, My left foot and calf went numb half way through and stayed numb until about 5 yards from the finish, I was the 4th last people to finish.... but you know what? I did it, I didn't give up, and I kept telling myself to believe I could finish. Whether it took me 3 hours or 1 damn it I was going to finish what I set out to do. I feel like a different person now. I feel like I want to set more goals to try to accomplish...

First thing is first. Jazzercise, lose weight and set my sites for my next 5 K which is May 12th. I want to be able to not be in pain for days after and want to have that same sense of accomplishment.

If I can do this at 330 lbs... what's your excuse?

I'm a ZOMBIE!

Did a 1K walk today at "Night of the Running Dead" in SLC. It was great fun! Spent 4 hours walking around and hanging out with family. It was great to see all the costumes. Bad part..... weirdest sunburn I have ever gotten:



That will be interesting to tell folks when I go back to work on Monday hahahaha. I was so happy that I went. It's out of my norm to do something like that. I think next year I might consider doing the 5K but I'm NOT a runner by any means. We'll see.
