Frosty 5K

Today was great, I got to run a 5K with my son Michael.  That means I have run a race will all my kids but Kellie, I am going to have to work on her.  It wasn't as cold as I thought it was going to be, and Michael was kind enough to stay back and coach me-that helped me to set a new PR.  Up to this point I have been stopping to walk for a few seconds every 1/2 to mile, last time I walked for about 20 seconds at about mile 2.  This time I ran non-stop start to finish.  We met up with a lady at mile 2 that kept me going, I wanted to talk to her, so I had to keep up with her.  After we broke off from her Michael encouraged me to sprint to the end.  I had told him I had no more left, I was already pushing myself.  He didn't buy it, and thanks to his encouragement I seriouslly sprinted the last part, coming in with a time of 35minutes 16 seconds.  4 minutes and 27 seconds better than the St pattys 5K, which is the same route.  That was my first 5K, so I was kind of holding back, not sure how I would do, this time I gave it my all.  Michael said if I felt like I was going to puke just before I finished then I truly gave it my all, and while I never actually puked, I defninatley felt like it.  Thanks Michael, it feels good to know I truly did my best today.  I also have to say thankyou to vaughan and Amy Nelson for letting us carpool with them,and waiting for us at the finish line.  It was a lot of fun, and I was shocked to see that we were in the car on the way home by 10am, quick, easy and fun.  Great way to start out the day.

I finished my stat's class this week,  HALLELUIA!!!!!  Never ever will I take that class again.  It was a tough one, but I pulled it off.  Now I just have 2 eight week sets of classes left and I am done with my BSN, That is going to be awesome.  But before then, I get a little break to enjoy Christmas with my family in Utah, I am so excited, less than a week away now, til we fly down.

I'm floating to a new unit at work, it definately takes me out of my confort zone, so it is a bit more stressful, but it is something new and different, which is nice now and again, even when you are a little more stressed.

Hope everyone has a great holiday, and Merry Christmas!!!
