Joanna 2-3-10

So I thought of something really exciting today after running my 1st 5k. The fact that I am going to be the last one across the finish line is actually a GOOD thing. Being last means that EVERYONE will be there to not only cheer me on in the end - but to take pictures to prove I did it :) So if you're going to be there Saturday please cheer extra loud and bring a camera!

So I did the 5k today. I had every issue possible - I felt like a stinker full of excuses - shoes needed tightened, my muscles were killing me, thought I was going to throw up, ended up with a blister from new running shoes (ended up tightening them TOO tight - go figure). Anyway - when it was done (45 minutes later) I was still alive, and I think that's a great thing. I'm really nervous for Saturday, but it's all for fun (and the sweet Make-a-Wish kids) - right?

Food today:
  1. Carbmaster yogurt and fruit = smoothie
  2. yogurt & string cheese
  3. lean cuisine
  4. cottage cheese & orange
  5. Spinach and turkey wrap and side of salad
  6. carrots & something.....

Today I am grateful for listening ears - people who understand and listen to my troubles.

I'm also grateful that while my kids are generally messy - they aren't always as bad as they've been today. I'm pretty sure my house looks like a tornado has hit.

  1. Joanna,

    I love you, you say exactly what I am thinking!! Everytime you write an update I am thinking the exact same thing!! But no worries on your run, you won't be the last one cuzz I will be behind you! So you will get to cheer me in, although I did tell Leslie today that I might just take my debit card and phone and when I can't go any further I can take my number off and go shopping!! Then I will just call for a ride when I am done!
    Have a good day!

  2. No shopping allowed....Until after you cross that line! It doesn't matter who is first..or last, it is just plain cool that you are all doing it! I bet a month ago you wouldn't be thinking you'd be running a 5k this weekend and you are. I think that is pretty neat. It is also cool that we get to support a great cause, that way everyone wins!
