So, Those Goals

Do you remember my goals? I do. 

Lose weight.

RUN a 5K.

So I started the Couch to 5K. And everything was going really good. 

Well, with the exception that my knees and shins put up a fight. 

So I decided that I should try kinetic therapy (or KT) tape to help. 

I wasn't a large difference but it did help. 

The end of February and beginning of March brought on some new challenges. 

I got sick. Being sick and running = not happening. 

Financial situations also made it necessary that I obtain a job. 

By the way, I rocked that interview while still sick. 

And then we had a weird week of snow. 

Getting used to a work schedule made running difficult. 

And then wham! The Color Run was here!

While I didn't run the whole thing, I did several running spurts.  

Besides, I had Ivy (which I wasn't originally planning) and the whole point is to have fun at your own pace instead of a timed race. 

As far as the weight loss goes, I've lost 14 pounds so far. 

(As always, I run for my dear Survivor Aunt)

My body hurts so much. A lot of things are telling me no not torture myself over running a 5K. My knees are telling me to just not do it. Running/jogging/training has not eased the pain in my legs. I'm disappointed that I had setbacks and didn't do what I set out to do for my deadline. But I'm also not mentally torturing myself. I'm ok with not meeting my goal. I can just try again.
