Its official!!!! I registered for my first 5k and I am soooooooooooo hype! I cant wait. I competed week one of the c25k app and I am hyped for next week~!| Making Strides

c25k week one completed!

I almost didn't finish week one on time. I ended up running Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. I notice my legs don't hurt like after the first run. I look forward to next week where I think I will have to run for 90 seconds instead of 60. I know I can do it:) this c25k has done so much for me in just a week. I have had time to myself, time to think, to have a clear head, to enjoy the simple sounds of nature, to watch the sun rise and to do something I've always wanted to do!

I've also inspired a few coworkers and my sister to use the App and the list keeps growing for the breast ca 5k. I think I am just gonna run, that was my goal and I am gonna do it. Hopefully I will be able to see my friends that will walk while there. I think my sister will try to run to as she started the program and already works out.

Time will fly, I know it. October is just around the corner! Now I will have two special events in October! Can't wait:) it will be my third wedding anniversary and my first 5k, not to mention my sister is having a vow renewal in Jamaica a couple weeks after the run!

rosemary garlic lemon thyme chicken

A mouth full but I don't what else to call it. I got the idea from a coworker, she brought in rosemary clippings from her garden and then shared how she uses it to make an amazing baked chicken. Here's what I used
-4 rosemary springs
1.5 medium sized garlic cloves
handful of lemon thyme
3 cap fulls of olive oil

I used an oven bag of course. The turkey breast was about 8lbs and its been in my freezer since the winter lol.

This was the most juicest flavorful turkey I have ever encountered. I was initially hesitant to not add any seasoning, but im glad I went with my gut. No additional seasoning necessary. My house smells wonderful like I'm some fancy chef! Lol

C25k and Breast Ca 5k

completed day 1 last night. I must say it was cool. I am so proud I actually completed it. It was challenging but not unbearable. I used the lite program and it was fine, I didnt listen to music for a couple reasons. no music def made the run seem long, but it gave me time to just have a clear head. so often I say I need to able to just not have any thoughts running through my mind and for once I was able to do just that. I also had to do without music because it was 830pm when I was running and it was getting dark, smh. there were other runners out but not enough for me to really feel safe. I look forward to my next training day even though it wont be until thursday.

Also, I am happy to say that I am just minutes away from registering for the breast ca walk/5k in october. Im a little torn because I really want to be able to do the 5k, but so far everyone who has decided to join me wants to walk. thats cool, it will be fun to walk with the gals. But when I first got the thought to do the run, I wanted to be able to do just that, run. Anyways, I will probably walk because I want to be with those that agreed to join me. Either way, I will be supporting and great cause and doing something great for my health

their 2 months old!

Mud run photos!

I have video also but according to Jarred the file was to big for our computers to process? Anyways here's a few pics!

How cool am I?

Lol but on a more serious note, let's admit I am pretty cool. There's so much to discuss I'm gonna have to make this post my outline
- fell off the bandwagon with many things: prayer, meditation, sit ups/ push ups
- mud run. Yeah I did it! Not the whole thing though.... Sad I know. I mistakingly took a short cut didn't realize it until I somehow got ahead of jarred and others who were actually running. But I'm inspired nonetheless. My sister says she wants to do a regular race with me and one of my brothers agreed. I looked up the breast ca run, it's in October and I'm sure I can be prepared by then
- my hair! Just retwisted today
- uggghhhhh I drove from Brooklyn to home. Anyone who's knows me knows that I don't do long drives, bridges, or toll booths, but I had to do it yesterday and I survived!

More details to come on everything mentioned. It's 1 am and I have to be up at 6. What am I doing? Lol
