Woohoo!!

So, I am totally excited!!

A couple of weeks ago I went jogging to my voting spot and I was so out of breath when I got there I had to sit on a bench and rest before I went in. I blogged about it briefly here. My polling spot is at a school around the corner from my house.

So where is this story going you ask?

Well, I put dinner in the oven (porkchops) and while my hubby sat with the sleeping kiddos, I went out for a jog outside. I decided to head towards the school to see if I could see a difference. About halfway there I notices that I was out of breath yet...then I decided that if I made it to the school and I wasn't going to pass out, then I would keep going....and so I passed the school...rounded the corner...and decided I was going to stop at this certain point. I didn't give up....I just kept going....and when I got there I checked my stopwatch and I had ran....wait for it....wait for it....8 minutes and 11 seconds!!! Can you believe it??

So what's the big deal?? The big deal is that I was freaking out after having to run for 5 minutes straight on the treadmill, but while outside I busted that and did 8!!

Woohoo!!

  2. I'm so glad to hear that! Sometimes it's the victories we set out for ourselves that could pull us out of any funk. I'm rooting for you and I know you will be a success :-)

  4. Haha, thanks for following me and all I can say is classy ladies think alike (and have the same great taste...) with the background.

    I also really like your "cheer" and "confession" sections in each of your posts, I may have to start doing that!

    Best of luck to you!
