As I enter this last week of the challenge, I am trying to push myself as much as possible so that I finish with a bang. At our weigh in on thursday, I lost 2.4 pounds with a total of 35 pounds lost in the MUSC Healthy Charleston Challenge program. What an amazing success that is. I may not win this whole thing but boy have I jumped over a huge hurtle that I never thought I could. In my mind I have set a 40 pound goal for the program so I am hoping to lose 5 this week. :) We will see!
The festival of lights run on thursday was AMAZING! If you are in the area- you need to go do it next year. It was so beautiful and so much fun! The lights distract you from thinking the negative thoughts of "this hurts..." or "I can't go any more..." I ran the 2 miles in 23.39 which is really good for me. I think I was super fast that day. My time today was a lot slower... around 41 minutes... but I kept a fairly consistent mile pace so that is good. Lots of room for improvement and am so excited about getting better and better!
CHEERS for the last week of the challenge. If you don't mind, I'd appreciate some extra prayers...even though it's silly even some prayer that I lose my 5 pounds so I reach my goal... I love you all and I cannot do this without you!
Way to go on your runs! That's awesome! The festival of lights run sounded fun, I forgot it was this week. Those lights are always so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWe are doing the Turkey Trot in Charlotte too when we go home for Thanksgiving.
Prayers for your last week of the challenge and for your continued success afterward. You're doing great, keep it up!
Also, we are finally in town for a few weekends in a row. We are going to start visiting some different churches, trying to decide where to go tomorrow. Maybe we'll be able to make it to yours soon??
Haha .. how about we make a deal, if you see me, pick me up, if I see you, I'll pick you up! Or at least signal someone to help me and keep on running! You know you're going to rock it though!
