Reaching a new goal...

Well, Michael and I both hit new goals yesterday when we ran the Elvis Presley 5K in Memphis. I wanted to run a time 5 minutes faster than the first 5K. I ran it in 34 min. Last time I was 39 + min. I know that neither of these are record setting times for allot of people but it is for me!!!! I was so proud of myself for reaching my goal!!! Now... the next one I want to do is RUN the Lebonheur 5K in October. I want to run the entire thing- no quick stops to catch my breath or walk for a minute up that hill, I want to run the whole thing!!! I think I can most definitely improve on the time if I can figure out what to do with my sore ankle. By the end of this race (even wearing a brace on it the whole time), I could not hardly step down without a horrible pain under my ankle that shot through the bottom of my heal!!! I am very sore today but I know that means I worked somethings I have not been working in this body of mine!! I am determined to keep this up if it kills me!!! I actually enjoy it after the fact but not so much in the middle of it!!!! Ha!!!

Michael made it to the finish line in a little over 25 min! Men! I would probably croak when I hit the finish line if I did that, but he did great! I am so proud of him! Then went home for some rest and to ice my ankle. We both took the day off from exercise and worked around the house. Back to the real world tomorrow! I start my school work on the 29th! Wish me luck!!!!! We all know if I make it through all of this, it will be one huge goal accomplished in my life!!!!
