Training for My 5k

i'm actually very proud of myself this quarter. i try and make time to work out at least 4 times a week. i definitely find that working out helps me stay alert more. I feel great and confident! i love the way my body feels so good. i've been doing this all quarter usually doing 40-45 minutes of elliptical per workout on a resistance of 8-10. it may not be thaaat hard for some people, but for me, i'm very proud of myself :) sometimes i question how i survived grueling tennis days..=\ but those days are long gone...

anyhow, been trying to get into running so i've been actually incorporating that into my workouts more...but it's been hard...so to get me to run more, i've actually signed up for my first race! it's a measly IM 5k race, but hey, it's my first one! hopefully, i'll get into it more so that i can run run run run run :) i've been running around the park right outside our apartment and it does wonder for my stress level! i pop in my earbuds with a good song and just run! i love the scenic (sorta) routes with trees, the smell of dirt, and just the freshness of the air. love it!

anyhow, been training diligently this past week for my race! i'm nervous still..just hope i dont end up last or something..but even so, i'll be proud of myself! :D
