diet bet

So my diet bet began on monday. I currently have 26 days to lose 5.9 pounds. I know I can do it, I just have to prove it to everyone else now! Oh and the pot is now over $13,000. Whoa!

Over the weekend I mentioned that I ran for an entire 3 miles instead of running some, then walking some. Well that has motivated me so much this week! Monday was my day off, but I still ran 2 miles Sunday, yesterday and today! Super proud of myself! I think maybe next month I am going to sign up for the Virginia Beach Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon, hopefully to push myself to actually get done what I want to get done!

r.i.t.n.y 5k

How did you ring in your new years?! I rang mine in with a 5k, starting at midnight! There were quite a few people there, more than I thought would be there. I was very nervous when it first started. I was running in my very first official 5k. But I ended up having a ton of fun, and I had my little munchkins at the finish line waiting for me when it was all over with! It made me feel so awesome to cross that finish line, I just wish I had done it faster, but, hey i'm getting better! 

I know it's already January 2nd, but it's better now than never to announce my goals for 2013. Do you set goals for yourself each year? I don't normally, and if I do I don't ever reach them :/ I'm going to do better this year and actually stick to my goals.

- Run 13 in 2013 (it doesn't have to be 13 5ks, or 13 half marathon or marathons, just runs)

- Run a half marathon ( I got my sights set on the Rock-n-Roll Half marathon in Virginia) 

- Complete a warrior dash 

- Start meal planning

- Eat healthier

- Stop procrastinating so much!

Now go run!

i love good days

I made it outside yesterday morning and ran 1.6 miles! I thought I did pretty good, I ran more than I have been outside and it felt pretty good. I'm trying to work on my stride, because I was told that it was too short, and even though I am short it needs to be longer. They told me that it would help me run faster and longer distances because I would be taking less steps. It is so tiring trying to lengthen my stride! I will get there though, I have too. I have to many plans not to be able to run long distances. There are too many medals that I want to get. If you check out my pinterest board with my fitness goals on it, then you will know what I am talking about :)
Here's the link for it if you want to take a look, maybe add some suggestions. Like these right here:

How awesome would it be to be able to get these?! I would love it, but I need to be able to run first...
