I ran a mile today!
Granted it was an intervaled mile but a mile ran nonetheless!
Annie had the brilliant idea of running half and walking half so we did this twice and finished out the day with a total of 2.5 miles in the bag: walk 0.5, run 0.5, walk 0.5, run 0.5, walk 0.5.
I can't believe it! I set my goal on half a mile and even that was painful... I really didn't think I was gonna run that second half mile but there's something about running in a group of 5 and having 4 people in front of you start running.... You just have to move your ass as well. Instinctually, you don't wanna be left behind. Ah yes, nothing like a bit of peer pressure to get your ass into gear. Works like a charm.
Anyways, I felt great when it was over and I think I could do it again! Maybe even by myself next time! I just need some good tunes to load onto my iPod and perhaps I could do the whole first mile without stopping next time.... We shall see.
Thank you friends for supporting my weight loss endeavor. You guys are the greatest motivators ever!! :) Now if I could just get my ass to start studying for my Peds exam on Monday, I'd be set!
Mud Run here I come!

A Sad Day for the City of Glass...
Soooo... The Canucks lost. Horribly.
I couldn't even stand to watch the last five minutes because it was that painful.
Then the riots began.
That was really unfortunate. I don't think anyone in a million years would have expected that. Not out of Vancouver. Maybe Philadephia. Definitely Philadelphia.
I understand the fans' frustrations because I was definitely one of them. I was internally rioting the whole time and my friends were pretty much staying out of my designated tantrum pacing path.
But I'm sure everyone will recover and we always have next year, folks. Hope all those people whose properties were damaged had some insurance coverage.
So on to more positive things.
Today I am going to my first Zumba class with my baby cuzzo and Brooklyn. We gon' get our asses into shape! I've just recently started to eat healthier again and wow, what a difference. I've lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks! Hollur. I was in pretty rough shape before this (I've gained another ten pounds since my last dieting attempt) and I'm feeling better than ever.
I've been looking up mini-marathons in Vancouver because I would like to start running again and I found this AWESOME mud run. It's a combination of running and biking through the mud and is done in team pairs. See below.
Looks totally doable! This will hopefully keep me motivated through the summer!
Wish me luck! :)
