Jelly Bean Race Results...

One of my most favorite blogs, Run with Jess is hosting a fun, Easter-inspired virtual race called, The Jelly Bean! SO FUN, right? RIGHT! So, I set off to run my race today! It was a particularly hot and humid day (if you don't believe me, check out the sweaty phone pic! ewwww). I decided to run while pushing the boys because I thought they'd enjoy racing along with me! Breakfast was a sandwich thin smothered in PB and a 1/2 banana- YUM! Then we took off...it was a great start but toward the end I was ready to be finished...but it was a good race! Time: 34:12! Not too shabby :)
My goodness, I never thought I'd enjoy running as much as I do. It's strange, really. I was always an aerobics/cardio girl and love workout videos too. But it was like I was stuck in routine, a rut and needed out! Running was my "out" and I'm so happy that I gave it a chance. Throughout my weight loss, it seems like I'd start running and then give up because I couldn't find a passion for it...it didn't feel good. But for some reason, I found these runners' blogs and I found a new inspiration! Thank you, bloggers! Well, my hubby inspires me too! His running journey started in February 2010 and look how far he's come! Running 7.5 minute miles and almost 100 lbs lighter! It's all so motivating and let's hope I can stick to it and make a true hobby out of being called a RUNNER...oh I sure hope so, because I'm loving it!
