Ragnar Las Vegas- 8 week countdown

On October 22nd and 23rd I will be running in the Las Vegas Ragnar relay race! Its a relay race with 12 runners per team. We will be running all day and through the night for a total of 195 miles. I am so excited and terrified at the same time. So, for the next 8 weeks I will be running my butt off! My neighbor and BFF, Sarah, got me into this and I am so glad she did. She is quite a bit faster than I am and a great motivator for me. We have been running 8.5 miles up Yellow Fork Canyon for the last couple Saturday mornings. The first time, I thought I was going to die...it was 97 degrees and it took me all day to recover. This last Saturday though, it was fabulous! Wish me luck...here's to miles and miles of pavement and gallons of sweat!

Keep runnin', runnin'

The title of this post is actually from a song that is stuck in my head right now, "Let's Get It Started" by the Black Eyed Peas.....Love it! Which brings me to my new exercise....running! I started over a week ago and I am loving it, especially now that I have a........

New Pink iPod Nano!

and.....Fabulous new running shoes!!!

I am really enjoying it....so much more than I thought I would. I haven't lost any more weight, but I think I am gaining muscle now. Just last night, I was looking at my legs and noticed muscles on them that I swear weren't there before. Seeing all my hard work pay off sure is motivation for me to keep exercising! You never know what you've got in you, until you push youself to, "Just Do It"!! LOL!

I did it!

I passed my CBA exam! My new business cards will read...... Krista Miller, CBA....so official ;)
I am so happy to have that over with!

Other news...I have now lost a total of 10lbs and counting. I have exercised every day (with the exception of last Thursday) for over 4 weeks now. My body doesn't jiggle like it used to! (It was like a fat wave when I did jumping jacks) I don't feel that much smaller, but my clothes don't fit anymore and all my belts are too big. Justin would say, I would do anything to get to go shopping and buy more clothes (he's probably right). Only 2 weeks to go in our contest and I don't think I will win. That's ok though, I think I will continue my little fitness and health quest long after this contest is over. I think a slow and steady pace is best for me. I'm excited to continue and see where I will be in a couple more months!

Thanks for your support!
