Here is a picture of my race day gear. I was warm once we started running.

Saturday is another 5k but this one is underground where it is 67* all year round!! I am a bit excited about this race. Not only is it underground but it is also on the day of my birth. Everyone dreads getting older however I have learned A LOT about myself this past year. I am so much stronger than I ever thought possible. I am doing things that I thought were only dreams. I am healthier than I have ever been. I wear a size in clothes that not even in high school was I able to wear. I even wore a bikini in Mexico!! So here is to being 27 may this year be even better than last year!!
I am again testing my limits in May by doing a Warrior Dash! It is a 5k obstacle course. Here is the link http://warriordash.com/register2012_kansas.php. I am doing it with a group of amazing women. I am sure it will be a great day!!
I had hopes of doing a race a month but February is turning out to be a difficult month to find a race to run that isn't hours away. So Brandon and I discussed it and if I can't find a race in February the January 29th race is close enough to February. I also had hopes of running a marathon in May, however it was cancelled. So now I am setting my goals on running a Marathon in October. I bought Hal Higdon's book "Marthon: The Ultimate Training Guide" It's a really good book so far with lots of advice on how to train for a full marathon, not how to win but how to finish. Which of course is my only goal, and to be considered "A Marathoner."
I almost forgot today is my weigh in day....I only like to step on the scale once a week. Otherwise you become obsessed with a number, a number that doesn't mean anything. I weighed in at 141!! It could be that for the past 36 hours I couldn't hold anything down, but I am hoping that I can keep it off!! My goal for the rest of the week is to lose 2 more lbs by Sunday to be at 139 by my birthday!!
May everyone have a great full last week of January!!
