135 weigh in after getting too high this week. I'm happy it is back down and I am shooting to get back to 134 quickly. It felt a little out of control for a bit there.
I have some exciting fitness news! I am planning to sign up for a 15K race that is coming up in only 2 weeks. It's called the "Hot Chocolate" race downtown Chicago. There is a 5K and a 15K. It's sponsored by Hersheys so there is fun chocolate logo apparel and goody bags and a hot chocolate and chocolate after party. This is 9 miles to run. I have gone to 7 before, but I know I can do it. What's 2 more miles for a race day, right?! I still have to sign up but I plan to do this with my workout partner so we can run together. I'll let you know when I officially sign up.
The only 3 hesitations I have are:
1. If it will be too cold. My lungs really can't handle too cold with my asthma and I don't want to run in cold rainy weather.
2. My foot is swelling up some b/c of an arch problem I have. This may mean I need new shoes again. My New Balance shoes have solved this problem for me in the past.
3. I worry about if I have to go to the bathroom where I will go. I know that is silly sounding, but it's a little phobia thing I have. I'm sure there will be portapotties around so I need to get this worry out of my mind! I cannot tell you how much that controls what I do sometimes!
So, there you have it. I'll let you know when I sign up but I am up for the challenge of it and it is a great way to wrap up this fun and exciting year of new challenges!

Holy Moly woman, you are so determined to beat these things! Go you, do it!!! OF course get thru your issues first. I don't think you ever mentioned asthma stopping you before but yes cold can be harder on your lungs. Research it see if there is a remedy to breath in warm air heehe i dunno just thinking. You are amazing though, you have proven you can do ANYTHING you set YOUR mind to. Thanks buddy, for your inspiration

What a great goal! Herseys! Sounds like lots of fun! Where there's a will there's a way! The thought never came across my mind that I might need to pee during a race! That's so true. Cant wait for your race pics. Good luck!
