Dusting off the cobwebs!

Five months without a post and this blog had cobwebs all over. Last August I ran in a 5k race at my school and unfortunately never ran again until July4th (well, once over Christmas to do that crazy idea of having the family run a marathon). Dad and I decided the night before at about 10pm that we were going to do the 4th of July 5k. We had talked about it on and off for a couple months but never signed up and never knew for sure if we were going to do it so I didn't do anything to prepare. It took me 27:00 minutes! Jordan found out and said this, "I"m kind of surprised you didn't do better." I'm glad he said it because it was that comment that has motivated me to run 10 miles a week ever since. I think I've ran about 100 miles since the 4th of July and just ran in another 5k yesterday. I broke my previous PR by 15 seconds (which was done on a treadmill....much easier) and had plenty of energy left over. I'm signed up for another 5k in 4 weeks and will be pretty disappointed if I'm not under 24min.

So, if anyone is looking for motivation to get on the ball all you have to do is let Jordan know what you're currently doing and he'll make sure to let you know he's surprised you're not doing better!
