First 5K!

I ran my first 5K on Saturday. It was cold and windy (about 42 degrees) and the track was actually 3.6 miles instead of 3.1. My time was 37-38 minutes (it wasn't a timed run), which isn't bad for my first 5K+. I still didn't enjoy it, lol. I'm not sure I will EVER enjoy running. But it's good to mix things up and do something that makes me uncomfortable. I'm running another 5K next Saturday. Yes, I scheduled my first two races a week apart. Good thing it's only 5K and not 10 or a half, lol.

I officially start teaching Turbo Kick for JSA next week! They HIRED me! Last I heard, only one person had signed up for the class. We need more to run the class, but this is a start. Go sign up, k? This means more advertising and hopefully a regular class. And it means I make a profit. This is a good change. I'm excited but nervous too. I'm still running the class tonight - if nothing else, it's good practice.

I added CLX back in. I felt like I wasn't as defined as I had been and I wanted to increase my muscle mass to help with maintenance. This is my 4th week (wow, already?) and I feel stronger. My calorie burn has been a little higher already too. Which is good, since the scale has been up. Part of it *may* be added muscle. But my diet hasn't been super clean lately either. I have to admit that I'm pretty happy where I'm at and I'm not very motivated to tighten things down. So for now, I'm maintaining. We'll see where I'm at in another week or two, lol.
