I finally got to wear my sparkly skirt this weekend! My first big goal for the year was to get a sub-30 5K. According to my Garmin I missed it by a few seconds. However, when I checked the official race results, I discovered that I did it! Quite an improvement from last year.
My training was a little light this week. After running 16 miles on Saturday, I ended up running 4 and 2 mile runs before the 5K. This week mileage ramps back up and my schedule looks like this:
Monday: Swim 30 minutes, Run 4
Tuesday: Beer & Hymns
Wednesday: Swim 30 minutes, Run 7
Thursday: Spin, Run 10
Saturday: Run 12
Sunday: Spin

#AddJoy Ending Soon, Other Things Beginning
I’ve had a blast with the #AddJoy challenge over the past several weeks. Although it didn’t turn out exactly as I had envisioned, it has helped me refine what I hope to accomplish with Wholistic Woman. This combined with turning 39 last week has me thinking about the future. I look forward to providing meal plans (squee) starting in May, and an even contemplating taking an online nutrition class. There is so much misinformation out there, especially in the post weight loss surgery community. I want to increase my knowledge so that I can make my own decisions and help others with their journeys.
Happy Spring! What is ending and beginning for you these days?

Wow – awesome job!!! Looks like you had a fantastic race!! Congratulations!
Thank you! I am slowly but surely increasing my speed.
Congratulation on meeting your goal! I’ve done a couple minis and was just happy to cross the finish line! Brava!!!
I just love it when I see the official results and did better than I thought! Great job to you on your race that is awesome!!! Thanks Wendy for linking up!
and thanks for hosting! This is my favorite link up!
Awesome improvement with your 5k! I’d be over the moon with just a 31 minute 5k. I’ve come close, but still no cigar. And I don’t think I have one planned for quite some time — my next race is 5 miles!
Hopefully treadmill runs are ending. 🙂 Been a while since I had to do a treadmill run!
Thanks! It was a great goal and got the year off to a great start.
Happy belated 39th birthday! And, a huge congratulations on your sub 30 at the Irish Jig 5k. That’s a massive improvement in one year! You should be very proud. I think a nutrition class would be very interesting. Coupled with your experience, this would assist you as you help others with their own journey. Thanks for linking with us Wendy.
