Breaking Through the Barriers & a PR

I completely forgot to take a picture of the cookies I made last night. I remembered when I got to work. So, sorry about the crappy cell phone picture and they're inside a baggy, too. My coworkers liked them. They were gone in just a few hours! I was very proud of myself, I never had one (not even at home).

I had too much crappy food last week, so I'm trying to eat better to get these last couple pounds off and be 100% happy with myself (I'm about 99.3%)!

I'm getting off of work about 1/2 hour later than usual (new time), so I only have time to run 3 miles before my spin class on Mondays and Wednesdays. Today, I pushed it to a 5k. I pushed myself hard and wanted to set an unofficial PR. I did!! Only by a few seconds, by every second counts (I've always said that).

My Oktobrewfest 5k (in Oct. 2010) I set my official PR at 30:26. My unofficial is 30:23. Hey, 3 seconds is 3 faster seconds than what I was. I am slowly, but surely getting there. All I care about is beating my old times, no one elses. I am breaking through my own barriers and smashing them to the ground!

In spin class, I again, pushed myself super hard. I couldn't believe how much sweat was pouring off of me. There was so much on the floor, I needed to put down a "wet floor" sign. It was a great class.


I'm again nervous. Tomorrow I have 10 miles on the schedule. Let's see how I do. My blister is getting better, but I think I may rig it a little so there are no problems.
