13.1 trail marathon

I completed it and took 1st place female!!! I couldn't be more happier!! I worked hard for this and I did it. !!! the feeling was amazing. I cannot describe how difficult it was both physically and mentally!! but i'm so proud and i Thank my awesome friend shiloh for this who was the one who talked me into this. She was such a great cheerleader to me and she came along bright and early to take me and be with me early in the morning since I didn't want to have Kiara wake up so early and have Josh wait around with Kiki all that time while i was running my half. They ended up coming a little before the end. Joshua was so proud of me, and i also thank him for kicking my butt out of bed in the mornings that I didn't want to run. Love him for that. He had to do that one too many times ;-). 

Goodbye to our best friends and Florida!!

I can't believe tomorrow is my half marathon and then Sunday we leave to Lexington. Its been so amazing living here. It brought the best out of me. My love for running grew here and I met the most incredible people including a best friend of mine and for Kiara too. We met some other awesome friends and we are so happy to have built long lasting friendships. We will miss you Florida!!!

Running buddies shiloh and Dawn.

 Love my girl Corey and will miss her like cray cray!!! we had so much fun together.

Weekend long run!!

Next weekend is my HALF (trail) MARATHON. 13.1 miles of running! Can't wait.I worked so hard for this. Set all my other stuff aside and focused on getting my butt up each morning and stepping foot outside. Did I mention how much I dislike treadmills now. I can barely do 3miles on that boring thing. Once you run outside the treadmill seems like torture, but I had to use it several times due to the hurricane weather here in FL. Anyways, I set a goal and i'm on the road to completely accomplishing it. I couldn't be more proud. If you want a top calorie burner Running is on the top list!! Flattened my pudge pretty fast. Now all I need to add is strength training and core workouts now but I'm waiting on that till after my race dont want massive sore legs lol. Can't wait to post pics for my race next weekend!!!

Happy Anniversary to the best Husband ever!!

Happy 3 years my love!! I could have not asked for a more wonderful husband! You are my rock and my soulmate. We've been through so much and yes the first two years are definitely the hard ones. They were definitely learning years of getting to adjust to each other and the little things that tick you off about each other, and etc. Its only made us stronger as a couple. Not only are you a wonderful husband, you are also an amazing father. The best father to Kiara a little stinkohead could ever ask for. She adores you to pieces and I love watching you guys play together. She adores you!!! For eternity...I love you!!!

6 weeks Left And Race day!!

I Been doing so good With my running! So proud of myself. I did almost 8 last Saturday I should have done them but I stopped a little before and took some pictures of my surroundings and where I like to stretch after my workout. Doing great so far. 

I also skyped with my sister and dad a few weeks ago and I told my dad about my training and since my dad was always into sports he seemed very proud of how far I've come in my running skills. Both my parents bought me a pair of brooks adrenaline running shoes which I been wanting and after not wearing the proper shoes I did lose a toenail. Sounds awesome right? Not very cool lol. But it was fun going out with my hubbs to test some shoes out. I had to run on this treadmill and they had to check out my stride, pronation etc. After trying out tons of shoes on I finally chose my favorite and when I got to the register and paid the guy goes: "This is yours too." My Joshua had surprised me with a hydration belt for my long runs it was cute, pink an perfect lol. I was ecstatic and it was just an over all fun two day weekend with my family. Went out to the park played with Kiara and had fun ourselves.

Happy about my family, my goals and dedication to my running and so glad to have joined a running club or else I wouldn't get into it like how I am right now. Happy week!!
