So I really should have posted previous to now, but late is better the never right? Plus the news is big enough I really can't move forward till I announce it.
I WON the Paleo Challenge! That means that I won the $865 dollar kitty and have paid for my CrossFit habit through December, Hooray! Such a blessing, really...At my lowest I got down to 123 pounds and approx 15% body-fat. It was a new low and high :).
Second big news item, I ran the Seattle Rock and Roll marathon in 1:57! Excellent, better than expected and fantastic are just the beginning of how I felt and feel about it. I am seriously impressed that I was able to do that. I feel very grateful for my training group and my running partner Dave. I know it would not have been possible without their help and support. I think the interval work I did with my super human friend also really improved my speed, and most importantly it would not have been fun without friends!
Third, I am seeing a pattern...I respond very well to challenges that involve other people and a bit of competition. And now it is time for a new goal or three.
You did a great job training, and in the race! and made the whole experience fun for me!
