last week my knee was KILLING me again. i am just not sure whats going on. so, i didn't run last week to try to let it rest. it did feel better by sunday, and even better by monday this week! i think i just need to make sure to keep up with my rest days... not that i am depriving myself of those : )

i am happy to say, i am finally running a race! i heard via facebook that several of my hubby's fun cousins are running a local 10k race here on March 31. i think i just kept pushing off running my first race since mackenzie because i hadn't felt ready. i feel physically like i have gotten to a good point now, so i was SO excited to hear they are running that race. i am a little less intimidated since i will know some friendly faces PASSING me : )

i am also a bit intimidated because i have never done a 10k. i have only done 5k's and one FAILURE of a half marathon. that half marathon was a JOKE! it was at our awesome family reunion (from my hubby's side) 2 summers ago and i decided last minute that i was going to do it even though i started to train for it and then stopped. lets just say i was going tribal and pretty much licking my sweaty arm for salt and eating weeds to survive. hah! i hope you know im being completely serious too... i was NOT prepared nutritionally or physically. good learning experience. im so excited to prepare for this one and see how it goes! : )
