...by the running bug that is :7! You know, I kind of thought you all were crazy but I guess I can count myself in the crazy bunch.
You see, this summer, my motivation and diet had been faltering and I was not too happy with myself. I decided to join the RT folks for Cathe's Friday step class. It was so, so incredibly motivating and talking with Cathe, one on one afterward, was exactly the kick in the a$$ that I needed! Since that day I kicked the diet and workouts into a whole other gear. I also added running to my rotations twice a week starting the following week.
Well, my neighbor convinced me to run a little 5k with her this past weekend. My only goal was to not make a fool of myself. Well, I was first in my age group (25:25)! Unfortunately, it wasn't the biggest field but man, oh man, did I have a blast! I can't wait for the 8k in late October. I think I'll have to start pestering the Cheetah ladies to let me join their group }( :+.
Anyway, long story short, I know it wasn't the few weeks of running that allowed me to accomplish this little goal in such a short period of time. I have to give credit where credit is due...and it's all due to Cathe! If it weren't for her workouts I NEVER would have even thought that I could finish a 5k, let alone enjoy it so much. I think I may have a new passion...

...I will agree that Cathe helped a lot...Good luck in the upcoming 8K. And I can't wait to talk to you more in the Cheetah check-in...http://www.emotihost.com/glass13/22.gif[/img]
