Mine has been busy. But fun…

So yesterday I did another 5K. The Pet Promise Rescue Run. Buddies. I did well. Truly. I ran this one, some…I would run until my lungs burst. Slow back down to a walk, catch my breath, and run again!! I had never attempted that before!!
rn
I was fairly proud of myself. My husband was extreemly proud of me, and really, the only battle scars I bare today are some very sore butt muscles!!
(Seriously, feels like a truck hit them!!)
rn
What a fun day…

Buddies. I HIGHLY encourage you to try a walk…They are so fun. So addicting. And most of them are for a great great cause. You will not beleive how great you feel when done. HUGE sense of accomplishment! I have added some additional pics to my profile of all my walks too…

Sooo. Thats about it for me. Steve and I are gonna go hiking today at one of our local Metro Parks. Just to get some more good hard exercise in…We are trying very hard to stay active this holiday weekend to off set some of the cookouts. So far we are doing great, and I would say I am maintaining about a 75% on plan weekend…I was shooting for 100, but you know…I will take 75!!

Have a good Sunday kids!
Great Job Dawn!!!!!!!!!!!! I am hoping to run in a 5K next year but for this year I’ll walk. I don’t know though maybe jog the one in November….lol. Keep me warmed up!!!!!!! Have a great rest of the weekend!!!!!!
OMG your dog is so cute!!! And you look great in your “walk” gear Dawnie!! You’re doing awesome with getting back on track!!
Great pics, Dawn!!! I really thinking of doing a walk thanks to you! The children’s hospital work i work has them frequently!
Congratulations for running. Plus being 75% on track is better than not being on track. Have fun at your cookouts and hikes. YOu look great in your pics.
I am very proud of you for doing the walks. Aren’t they addictive? Dawnie, I have done 5 marathons….2 of them for charity, my cause is AIDS. Anyhow….I can honestly tell you, when you do a race/walk for a charity, the feel-good energy is overwhelming. Your walks for these charitable organizations, speak VOLUMES of your kind heart and generosity.
Keep doing what you’re doing…maybe one of these days, we can do a marathon together—26.2 miles baby!! I think you’re ready now, actually. Maybe there are training groups in your area. I am not encouraging to do it, I would NEVER tell someone to do a marathon, but it’s something you might want to consider!
Glad you had some down time today!! And your puppy dog is adorable! I love your pictures, thank you for sharing them!
Keep up the walking! The cookouts are murder on a diet. Take care.
Wow you were really on the move this weekend Dawn!! Way to go!! Sorry bout the sore butt muscles, but a small price to pay for all the activity you got in!! Keep on moving!!
I’m proud of you too Dawnie!! What a way to get fit, by helping others!!
