    It went well!! I ran 3.6 miles, which is the furthest I've been able to go. I did it in 39 mins, which isn't the greatest time for me, but the course was super hilly! It was a race to support a foundation established after one of our football players passed away. His mom was at the finish line thanking everybody. It had a turn out of 500+ people. It was amazing to see.

    What a great reason to have a race and his mom being there gives me chills. You are a great person for supporting them.

    also congrats on the miles :) Me and my daughter(she is 4) are doing the race for the cure next week. we are going with 4 other of our friends so it will be more of a jog/walk kind of a thing.

    Not a good week for me, My daughter got her shots, then ran a fever for over a day, so I couldn't take her to the gym with me. So, therefore I couldn't go to the gym :frown: Then she got sick Thursday, and guess what no gym LOL, As a positive note, I went Friday :smile: when my husband took the day off. Then the worst thing has happened, now I'm sick :sad: I feel horrible, I don't want to move... With all that here's my weeks progress or not .... I'll turn it in now, since I may not be able to move to the computer later or tomorrow!!
    CW --149
    Neck-13
    Waist-31 ( not good went up), no doubt due to all the halloween candy and pms
    Hips-36 ( went up too, uhoh, no more halloween candy)
    Thighs-21 ( cant believe it, they actually went down :))
    Calves- 14
    Arm- Bicep - 11
    Wrist --6

    Hoping for a much better week, this time :)

    Ok, Ok i havent managed to keep on top of tracking my figures this week! And i feel awful, but i think the new challenge will be a good one for me this week! The 30DS dvd counts as cardio right? Might do two levels back to back each day!

    No change in measurements for me!

    Week 2: 151 lbs (no change). I guess, I am stuck with that weight. Maybe more cardio this week helps.
