didn't do the 5k, but...

Well I didn't make it to the race Saturday. We stayed up late painting our bedroom, which we needed to finish. Instead of running the race, I let my hubby sleep in and went to the 90 min YMCA cardio/strength class. The class was more exercise than a 5k anyway.

Sunday I had a great training run with some wonderful women. We ran 7.13 miles, with time 1:15 (all that thanks to the GPS runners watch my hubby got me last year). I did walk a few times toward the end of the run, but I am building up my endurance. I've decided to register for a half marathon. It's on flat groomed trail mostly and will be Sept 4th. My baby will be a little over 3 months at that point. I am confident that I'll be ready.

As for the weight loss... it's happening slowly. I still weigh a pound more than my hubby. ugh. It is coming off at about 1.5 to 2.0 pounds a week, which is what's recommended. I don't want it to come off any faster than that, since it might affect breast feeding. It still feels too slow though.
