The legs here are sore, which is to be expected after the 10 K yesterday, but the surprising element is that the butt and shoulders are also sore. What's up with that, kids?

Feel successful again. Perhaps running is the thing to do to keep myself feeling happy and successful. I need to feel like I have done something and overcome it to make myself feel good. The weight has stopped coming off, and I look great, but that need to feel successful and strong does not go away.

Something to think about: How to keep feeling successful!

Ran a 10 K (6.2 miles) in 1 hour 19 minutes and some seconds! I decided to challenge myself and feel good about getting done and being smiling and happy when I was done. The wheezing and coughing that lasted the rest of the day was less fun, but well worth it to see what I could push myself.

1/2 marathon is on November 6th and it will be so nice to get it done! I think it will be great! The next challenge might be the mini marathon in May! (pace for the mini is an 18 minute mile, which is easily obtained with a brisk walk)

Life is good - Life is good.

Wish I could get these last 20 lbs off, but that might be too much to ask for!
