On May 30th we had the Chick-fil-a 5K, and if you were wondering, yes they did have chicken biscuits at the finish line :)
This has been one of the only flat course we have had since we started to run, and it was soooooooooo nice. For the second time Chris was able to come race with me! Having him always makes it more fun. Also, Brooke had just had surgery on her foot, so she was MIA, but my cousin, Avery, replaced her.
We all had a really good race. Avery was so fast that she would pass me, then stop and walk until I passed her, then run passed me again. She ended up finishing in a little over 33 minutes and took 1st place in her age group.
I had been running mostly quick short runs to prepare for this and it definitely paid off! I PR'd at 35:05. That is a 7 minute difference from last month!
Chris and Macie also improved their times. 37+ for Chris and 45+ for Macie. Alec, sadly didn't improve (42), but I think she is having problems with the mental race.

This is my finish line picture. I got a new phone, so I lost all my group pics from that day. |
Lastly, since my graduation week post , my weight had plateaued at 165. I have found that if I want to lose the rest of my weight, I am going to have to put in some more effort. The most effective way I have found is by logging my food. On my Fitbit app, there is a food log (much like myfitnesspal). I have been logging my food and becoming more aware of my snacking and have lost 3 pounds this week!
I couldn't be more excited! I am almost in the 150's. I really never thought I'd be at this weight again!
I have lost 45 pounds (161)! Only 16 to go!
