My run for the day.

I ran a mile in 16 min. My goal is to make that number a mile in 10 and go down from there. My ultimate goal is to run a 5k in 20 minutes!

5K run/walk in Nashville

This past Saturday I did a 5K. I ran most of it and ended up going 3.8 miles. I was with my sister so I kept going back to her and walking with her for a while then I would run again. We both jogged the last part of it together. We crossed the finish line together which was really awesome! Even though I'm not in Italy, in March I plan to run a 10K which is the base to base. I'm training for that now. I'm wanting to run more than walk and finish it in less than two hours. After that my goal is to do a half marathon!

Here are some pictures from the race! 

Still here.

I'm back after a long break. I was busy with a move and trying to get all settled in. We aren't completely settled, but good enough for now. I haven't been exercise for a few months now. I'm feeling it too. Now I'm starting back up and getting signed up for walks/runs. I use mapmyrun.com to track my food and walks which will turn back into runs later on. Right now I'm getting ready for a 5K walk in Nashville. Another goal I'm going for is to do the "base to base" again. This time though I will be doing it State side either outside, or on a treadmill in a gym. Even though I'm not in Italy I can still run 7.2 miles. That will happen in March. I believe it's the middle of March when they do that. Right now my food isn't where it was before we move. I've been eating really bad these past few months. Now I'm looking forward to eating more salads and healthy foods. I'm looking forward to updating at least weekly!

Getting back in the game

Since my last post I've been able to lose the 10 pounds that I gained. I've just not gotten fully back into a routine.
We are in the middle of moving,but this week I've started walking again. I've been eating better as well. I'm going to stick with it, cause I know it works. I miss the wonderful feeling I had when I was exercising all the time!!  That's my motivation, getting my energy back and feeling good!!! I will post back here in a week or so to give you all an update!! 

It's been to long

So I've been off the exercise kick for about a month now. The down side to that is I've gained about 10 pounds back. :( I'm getting back into my routine on Monday though! I'm hoping to lose at least 30 more pounds before we move back to the States. The plus side though is that my blood is still normal and my bp is down to 110/89. I'm less stressed! I'm really excited about that! Thank you everyone for your love and support!! Here's to a new Michelle! :)

Base 2 Base Run

Since my last post I've done a few things. I throw out my scales cause they were making me mad! LOL I've been going by inches and how clothes have been fitting. :) I like that better! Right now I've gone done an two inches since I was last measured. I'm going in this week to the gym for Jill to measure me. I've been walking and running still. I did a 6 mile run on Feb 26th. I really wasn't feeling that run so I walked most of it. I finished it in an hour and 45 min. This past Saturday I did the base 2 base which is 7.6 miles. I ran half of it and walked the rest. Finished it in 2 hours and 5 min. I felt really good after I did the base 2 base! This whole time I've been working towards the base to base and now that I've done it I have the feeling of: now what? lol There is a 5k coming up on April 1. It's going to be in the Orchard again. The orchard is rough terrain and hilly. Oh fun! I've done it once and finished it in an hour, so I know that I can do this and finish it in under an hour! The pictures I've added are of Rick, Adrianna and I at the beginning and end of the race.
