Yesterday was the Re-Fridgee-Eighter 8K run. I'd been training for it since before Christmas. I was nervous about how I would do. I'd been running 5K on the treadmill in 34 min. That means that if I kept that same pace I would do it in 53 min. I anticipating I would do it in 53 min or more. Well yesterday was the big day and the weather was really good. It was only -4 C and the sun was shining. I'm happy to say I ran it in 50 min and 48 sec! I did it faster than I thought. I came in 209th over all, 91st for women and 12th in my age group! I'm waiting for the results to be posted online so I know out of how many people that was. Wieghtloss is still rather frustrating. I"m down to 156 which means I still have 16 more lbs to go and even if I reach that I'm not sure if my clothes will fit. I may have to loose more than that. I'm really getting discouraged. But that doesn't make me work out any less. I've got the exercise bug. I want to do it all day every day. I love working out. It makes me feel good. It would make me feel better if I were loosing inches. I've got to go now, Alexander needs me. He's doing really well. He's doubled his birthwieght and is getting quite big. I think he's discovering his tongue because he's always sticking it out and licking everything.
