I'm back!

Sorry I took a hiatus...but now I'm back. I survived my half marathon, it was a good run. I got a slow time but I felt good about my race and that's what matters. The race was mostly uphill so I don't think it was a fast course for anyone. I'm able to walk up and down stairs now so I call that a success! One thing that helped me through the race was that I found a lady around mile 7 that stayed with me until the end. She made me keep up with her and wouldn't let me fall behind. She said that we were finishing together! It seems having someone to help motivate you is true in lots of endeavors...like this weight loss challenge. Thanks to all of you guys who are there to motivate me! It's time for me to refocus on that, no more need to carb load so the diet is back in order!
