Klutz-o-rific

Just got done with a 3-miler and it was awesome! It has been the first run in a while where I really felt good and strong. I ran the first two miles, powerwalked a couple of laps and then finished the 3 with a jog so I felt pretty good. Even though I have a long way to go, whenever I get frustrated, I just think back to when I never thought I'd be able to even run a mile at one time!

Today I think I only tripped two times versus my usual four or five. Seriously folks, I have got to be the klutziest person on the face of the earth and that's probably not a good thing when you're trying to run 13.1 miles. But I am what I am, and so I have to accept that I will continue to run into walls, doorways, furniture, etc. I will continue to trip when walking and running, so let's remain optimistic and just hope I don't face plant into the ground.

In other workout news, I've lost 24 pounds total now (which some days I feel like it and some days I don't) and this brings me to over halfway to my goal of 40 lbs. total....come on, fat, melt away already! I would love to be at my goal weight when I run in January, but not just because I want to look good in spandex. I think it would help my running so much more if I was carrying around less junk in the trunk.

So that's the word around here. I've got my first 5-mile workout coming up soon...please pray for me!

Oh, and here's the picture of the week. Isn't Landon getting SO big? He looks like a little boy in this picture! Which, he IS a little boy, so that makes perfect sense...but what happened to that little baby?? He's such a cutie, don't you think?! What's more precious: the little hand waving, the "duck duck moose" onesie, or the sippie cup in the background?
