Right after Aaron was born, I really wanted to join a gym and get in shape. Being the nice husband that Ryan is, he gave up his gym membership so that I could get one. He decided to start running instead and he thought the Peachtree would be a good thing to work for. On February 6th he ran his first 10k to qualify to be sub-seeded and finished in a time of 41:44. The time he needed was 41:59, so he accomplished his goal. But, on February 28th he ran another 10k finishing in 40:55, coming in 2nd in his age group and 4th overall. He started enjoying this so much that he decided to start training for a half marathon. Today he ran the ING half marathon and finished in 1:33:16. That put him finishing 180 out of 10,501. Congratulations Ryan!! Evidently, he's a good runner. Now he's trying to decide if he wants to try to run a marathon. I think he's crazy : )
Ryan after the ING, Burger King in hand.
Nathan loves Daddy's medals.
In the same time Ryan has been training for this, I have also been working to accomplish my goal. I signed up for Weight Watchers and joined LA Fitness and after 6 months, mission accomplished. I have lost 23lbs and have gone from a size 8 to a size 2. The best part is that I have become a person that actually enjoys eating healthy and working out. YAY me!!
So tonight, after all this hard work, we are headed to Outback!! Guess tomorrow I'll have to change that 23 to a 20 : )
