My goal for the week was 300 minutes of Exercise and I did not come close, but I was much better than the week prior. The week prior I had 68 minutes of exercise and this week I had 203 minutes of exercise. I am going to try my hardest the week of 8-24-08 to 8-30-08 to hit 300 minutes. This may be extremely difficult for me to accomplish, because I am leaving to go on vacation Thursday morning and I will not return until Tuesday the next week.

Another 5K
I ran another 5K. This one was called Valley 5000 and it is based in Loveland CO. This was a very interesting race for me, because it rained the whole time. In fact by the time I got home I weighed an additional 6 pounds from all the water that my clothes has soaked up.
I was very proud of myself, because even though it rained and I was cold I beat my time by almost 2 minutes. My first race was officially 40 minutes and 21 seconds. This race was officially 38 minutes and 33 seconds and that was even after I had to stop and wait for the fire truck to move.
The next 5K that I am going to run is on 9-21-08 and it is located in Fort Collins. I am hoping to complete this run in 35 minutes or less. I have been trying to work out each day on my treadmill for an hour. During this hour I am doing a combination of running and walking, but I am trying to build up my bodies endurance and make it work harder and longer. I am hoping that this will help me finish my 5K in 35 minutes of less. I have about 3 weeks to keep up this routine before the 5K and I am also hoping to lose 5 pounds prior to the run.

8-9-08 - Rat Race
I just ran my first ever race. It was called the Rat Race. It was a 5K and I completed this in 40 minutes and 18 seconds. My goal was to finish in under 45 minutes and I accomplished that goal. The hardest thing for me was to figure out how to drink and run at the same time. This I was not able to figure out, so each time I needed a drink from the nice people that passed out water, I ended up walking. I walked a total of 4 times.
