I ran 4 miles without walking in 42 minutes today.  The first mile always seems like the hardest.   Then I walked .25 .   I feel good although very tired I can tell it is time for my shot again.

I worked my abs (Which so far no results in that area.)  Then I did a leg machine for my inner thighs.

I stretched longer today after my run so I only had 22 minutes left so I got on the bike and finished out my time going 4.20 miles. i was so sweaty I felt dumb walking over to get my jacket on.  For some reason it felt like people were staring at me. (Little self esteem issue)

Wow Katie...that's awesome.

Well I have good news for you...I'm terrible at keeping secrets. You won't have to worry about slowing me down because I'm going to be pretty slow in a couple of weeks when we finally may be able to get together. We found out we are expecting #6!!! I'm so excited!!

That is such good new! I am happy for you. So you must not get sick if you expect to keep running. I know you ran with some of your other babies. I just can't imagin that, but I was so sick with all mine. How far along are you? I was thinking I needed to kick up my miles to 5 a day so I could keep up on Saterdays. (Less presure now:)

You take care of your self.
