Bye Thighs!

Wow. I'm beginning to think this blog is rapidly dying. No page views since Sunday Runday! Man, I wish I had known that changing the title and url would kill me before I did it!!

Today was a short day at work, so minimal standing on the sore legs and I spent the day just in my socks to prevent rubbing the blister on my heel. I think it's healing nicely, but it may not be healed by Thursday morning when I plan on doing a morning run alone after taking Gabriel to school.

The other day, Shane told me that my thighs are getting smaller. I kind of shrugged it off and thought he was trying to be funny, but when I did measurements on Sunday, it's true!! I have lost 2 pounds (happy dance that the scale finally moved) and I've lost an inch off of each thigh! Yay for training for a 5k!! I've also cut back on my protein intake. I think that has helped with the scale downage. The thigh shrinkage is definitely due to the running, though.

Only a week and a half until the 5k!! I'm excited and nervous. I hope I can finish in a decent amount of time and I hope to run more of it than walk, which has been an issue of mine as of late. Even though I haven't actually completed a 5k yet, I was searching on active.com for some more 5 or even 10ks to do so that I have a goal to run to when I came across a link to this. It's a half marathon in August that is run at night with glow bracelets and fun stuff. It's even fun because it is called Area 13.1 and the run is in Roswell (GA, that is). Right now the thought of running 13.1 miles scares the hell out of me, but even if I can't run it all, I should be able to get through a good portion of it run/walking (or enough to finish in, hopefully, 4 hours or less). We'll see if I actually get up the nerve to register for it!

Long day at work tomorrow, so there probably won't be much to say!
