5k!!!

Wow it has been awhile since I've updated! Soooo much has happened! Well, Saturday morning Heidi and I left Lyons about 5:30am to head to Wichita to run our 5k! We were nervous and excited! We got there about 7 and picked up our packets and then got ready to run!! We ended up only walking less than a quarter of a mile, maybe the equivalent of 1.5 blocks?? The rest of it we ran! I am sooooo proud of us for doing it, for finishing it, for getting a really decent time especially for our first one, and not coming even close to last!!! Haha the time is disputable though. I started my runkeeper app on my phone and it said we went 3.2 miles and finished in 39 min. The timer that was showing when we crossed the finish line said 41 min but that was from the very first person to start and we weren't anywhere near the front. Lol there was probably 1000 people or so there. It was awesome!! Really great experience!! Soooo since mine said 39 min and that was actually more than a 5k and theirs said 41 from the first person, we figure it's anywhere from 38-41. Lol not bad for our first one!! I wanted to finish in less than 40 min so we made that!! :) we had a really great time. After the race we drove to salina to get my brother for the week. It's been a great week having him here!! We haven't gotten to do a whole lot because it's been raining but it's still been fun. We went bowling on Monday over in GB and picked up my other brother to go with us too. Tuesday we went to hutch to run a few errands and we stopped and ate some Cherry Berry. Yum!! The last few days we've just been hangin out around here. I did some spring cleaning of our basement yesterday to try to get things more organized for when we move I got rid of a lot of crap and was able to eliminate several boxes of stuff we haven't unpacked since we've been here because we don't have room for it all. It was nice. I also found a box of clothes I had put away because I thought I'd never get back into them so I was going to get rid of them. Turns out a few items fit and the rest are now too big!! I never thought I'd see that!! It was definitely exciting. :) Other than that, Heidi and I have officially registered for our 2nd 5k! We are going to do The Color Run in Tulsa!!! If you haven't heard of it, you should definitely google it or YouTube some videos. It's going to be a BLAST!!!! I also had forgotten that I was running in a 4 mile race at the end of April for a fundraiser Heidi's work is doing. Justin is thinking about doing that one with me (even though he will smoke me!!!) so that will be exciting!! Then Heidi and I are most likely gonna do an All Girls Run at the beginning of May in Wichita!! I had also forgotten that I'm mooing a 2 mile run in St John for Memorial weekend. His moms side of the family always has a big get together that weekend and the town does a big celebration and they are doing a run. His cousin asked me if I would do it do of course I said yes!!! Sooooo I officially have 4 runs coming up between now and the end of June!!! The next one is one month from yesterday (for Heidi) then the girls only run beginning of May, then the memorial weekend run and then our color run end of June!! We will be busy but I'm HOOKED and sooooooooo excited!!! :) My goal for the next 5k (beginning of May since the one for Heidi's work is 4 miles) is to be under 30 min!!! It's super ambitious but I know I can do it if I stay disciplined!! My baby girl turned 10 months old on Saturday!!! I can't believe she's sooooooo close to being a year old!! It's crazy how time flies. Not much else to update on, Justin and the recruiter are still getting his paperwork down, pieces at a time, slowly but surely. They have til May 13th to have it finished, but Justin is hoping April is his last drill. We shall see. It's just hard to get to Salina on the days Justin has off and when the recruiter has time, it just doesn't always match up, but it's getting there!! :) That's about all I know, just wanted to do a quick update!!! OHHHHH I almost forgot!!!! I am officially down 80lbs!!!! I'm sitting at 191! It's slowed up a lot in the last week for some reason and I didn't quite make my 190 goal by our 5k but only having one pound to spare, I'll still take it!! I have 20lbs to go in just under 20 months!!! (8wks from today to be exact!!) gonna be tough but I'm gonna do it!!! Having 2 races between now and then will be extra motivation for me!! :) Thanks for all the support through all of this, that you all have shown!! I couldn't do it without you!!! Love
