C25K

So a long time ago I decided that I wanted to be able to run a 5K in the fall.  When I say run I mean run, not do and walk it.  I hadn't done anything about it though. 

Then I told Nate that this was my goal.  What he said was 'there's an app for that' - couch to 5K.

So I got the app.  I was on my phone for awhile while I worked up the motivation to actually start it :)

I did Week 1 Day 1 (5 minute warm-up, 60 seconds running, 90 seconds walking - repeat 8 times, 5 minutes cool-down) on April 21.  I didn't make it.   I only did like the first 3 repetitions.

Today I did Week 5 Day 1 (5 minute warm-up, three 5 minute runs with 3 minutes of walking between, 5 minute cool-down).  I'm not going to lie, I didn't make it :)  I was running up a HUGE hill though at the end of the last 5 minutes.  No joke I ran up the hill for 1 minute and 10 seconds and was only half way up.  So I stopped with 20 seconds left in that run.  Doesn't matter though because it is a huge improvement from where I started and if I hadn't tried to run up that dang hill I would have made it.

Harper is 4!

My baby turned four Thursday.  Watching her grow from a constantly screaming baby to the girl she is now has given me some of the best moments and some of the hardest.  

Harper is becoming an amazing person.  She is polite, kind and caring.  Sometimes a little too sensitive, the girl definitely shows her emotions.

She took two dance classes this spring and loved them.  Although we rarely got to see dance moves at home, I know that she is learning and getting practice in listening and following directions.

She asked for pierced ears for her birthday, so she got her ears pierced.  She picked out butterfly earrings and did AWESOME!  The look on her face was a little questionable, but no tears were shed and she was (and still is) really excited about her earrings.

I have yet to make her a cake (bad mom here), so maybe I'll get on that.
