Zoo Zoom 5k

I originally started this post on Saturday.  Since then, life's been a little hectic (with a hurricane and all!) and I totally forgot about it. So, here goes!

On Saturday morning, Ricky and I woke up at the ungodly hour of 6:30 to participate in the Baton Rouge Zoo Zoom 5k and Fun Run.  Since I'm not technically supposed to be running any further than two miles right now, Ricky and I did the half-mile fun run.

Yep.

We woke up at 6:30 to run a half-mile.  We're not completely crazy; we had a good cause.  His best friend's five year old was running the half-mile: her first race! She ran the entire thing and we finished in about six or seven minutes.

Starting my Saturday morning with the run was great; I felt really energized for the rest of the day.  It, however, highlighted the fact that I've got a lonnnnng way to go before I'm ready for the Disney Marathon in 2014.

One week!

After three super long months, next Monday I can start to incorporate jogging into my routine!

I never thought I'd be excited to start jogging again. I mean, I live where the humidity is 100% almost all the time as the heat index can get over 100! But I am. I really am.


This week is my last week walking and waiting three months hasn't been as bad as I thought. Swimming really helped, but I'm ready to start thinking about things like Warrior Dash and the Color Run! Besides, these bad boys are ready to go faster:
