I had intended to do this post last Friday but obviously that didn’t happen so I’m doing it today instead. Hopefully I can make my posts about my fitness every Friday – we’ll see.
This past weekend I participated in the Color Me Rad 5K in San Diego. My friend Lindsey had done one a few weeks back in Bakersfield and said she’d do the one in San Diego with me – so I signed up as a part of a team that another mil spouse had formed. (You can read her inspiring story over here.) I had already started getting back into a routine at the gym, but this gave me a goal to train for, which always helps me focus better as I “work out.”
Though I could not run continuously as I had hoped (and been able to do in the gym on a treadmill) I still achieved a personal best for time! I was so thankful for my running mates, Lindsey and Jess, who kept me moving and encouraged me the whole way. It was a great race to get me back in the groove of running and plant that little seed that makes me want to sign up for another one!
I did it!
