My M~O~J~O came back!

It's about time. I was getting really worried. Apparently all I needed was a shopping trip to Wal-mart with 3 screaming children. The official TNT training runs don't start until June 12, but this morning I was supposed to run with my Derby girls team. Of course, it was raining this morning. Not just sprinkles, but a good steady down pour of rain. No team run :O(

I ended up going grocery shopping with the family. By the end all 3 children were cranky, 2 were crying and I was about to rip my hair out. By the time we got home I wanted to run away! Instead I ran 4.4 miles and decided to come back.

I ran the entire time, with the exception of 2 minutes that I walked up hills(inclines still kick my butt). My pace is getting better, it was about 13:38, or maybe 13:41, either way, it's better than the 15 minute mile I started out running. Up until today 3.1 miles was my max. I added another mile on to that with out really even trying. I knew my training schedule said 4 miles, so I mapped out 4 miles. I'm not gonna lie, it was awesome. I loved knowing that I was going further than I ever had. It was a good run, I came up pumped, excited, and sweaty!


I want to say a special Thank you to Brenda, Launa, Gabi, and Teresa for donating to my cause!
