A small feat, but I did it ! I ran a race! Yes, it was only 2 miles, but it felt good!
I have only been exercising, doing the Shred by Jillian Micheals the Biggest Loser trainer. Which I must say is amazing and I have been noticing huge improvements. So I feel really in shape, and every year I always tell myself, "I should go do the Isanti Jubilee Days Fitness Run." And so finally, just a couple of days ago I told myself I would!
So on Friday I did a test run....3 miles. I thought I was going to die! I must also add, in my defense, I went at like noon, and it was blazing hot. Thought I was going to die! So then the whole rest of the day, I thought it was a bad idea! I also thought it was a 5k, but it turned out it was only a 2 mile run or 5 mile run. I definitely took the 2 mile run!
I told my mom last night like at 10 pm that I was going to run the next morning...and to my surprise, she came to cheer me on! It felt really good! I rode my bike there since I only live like a mile from where it was...good warm up! And then I got there early, my running number was 5 :) (the number of kids I would have...but we compromised at three...that's called great communication and love people!)
Anyway, a couple of my friends showed up and we were off!!! It felt great, except I had drank so much water before hand, well you guessed it, I had to use the bathroom like the whole time! I told one of the girls (who had just had a baby 6 weeks ago), that it felt like I was 9 months pregnant and the baby was bouncing on my bladder! Except for at the end when I put my ipod on to Group 1 Crew's icontact song and then I kicked it down for the ending...which felt amazing. I never felt out of breath, I felt awesome!!
So yeah! That's that! I had a great time!

And also as usual, since we were both pushing double jogging strollers we waited to start until the back of the pack ( our numbers were 146 & 147)...so needless to say I am sure I never caught up to you! Not to mention that my girls wanted to stop at BOTH potties along the 5 mile course...kidn of slowed us up!
ANYHOW...congrats on your race...we love that one. We have done it for many years now..even before babies and it's always a great time! Great job...what was your time?
But I felt like I did fairly well for not doing it before!! :) I am a little bugged, I do want to know what my time was at least!! Ha!
I made Jaden come with me the other night on a 3 mile run. He rode his bike about 1.75 miles and then Ken had to come pick him up! It was nice company for awhile anyways!
