I did it! I ran outside! I haven't actually ran outside in 2 years! It's been crazy and my stomach was in knots over it. I even asked my husband to run with me. He is a MUCH better runner than I am and while I was breathless, he was not even a little out of breath. Normally I can't stand running with him. He's always "Do this, not that....blah blah blah." This time it wasn't to bad. He did correct my form and breathing technique but he did in a way that felt supportive and not hypocritical.
He ran about a 1.5 miles with me. That's right - I ran over a mile. And then R started to get crabby. My hubby took him to the park so he could play. And I RAN! I ran a total of 2.25 miles today. It felt really good. I felt so accomplished. I did my Les Mills Pump program as well as run. That is a long work out day! It was so worth it. I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow but heck - I feel great. OHHHHH!
I also finished Insanity. Can't tell you how GREAT that feels! Fantastic, amazing, phenomenal, relieving. I'm so glad to be done with it. I attribute Insanity to my ability to run 2.25 miles today - but I'm definitely glad its over. It's an accomplishment and as soon as I get my shirt I'll post pictures of it.
In addition to the awesomeness - I was able to purchase a used bike trailer for $50 from a local store! Woot! I've been wanting one and am so excited to start using it. We will be getting our bikes tuned on pay day - then we get to go on a family bike ride. I'm so excited about the whole thing.
So...there is my update - good things are happening! :) And here are my Insanity before and afters - round 1!

Vendor events
As an independent Beachbody Coach I am constantly working towards expanding my business. One of the things I've decided to do is go to a few vendor events. I didn't realize how much time, work, and effort it was going to take. I mean, I get that I wasn't going to be able to "whip it up" in a hurry but man - details details details! If you know me, you know I'm not a detailed person - so this is taking a lot of work! I don't mind it though. It gets my mind of things and lets me concentrate on work. Plus I can watch a movie or two! As soon as I get it all together I'll put pictures up and more information. I'm not done with all I want to do so it needs to be PERFECT! Or close to it. :)
In other news.... Les Mills Pump arrived today! I'm so excited! It was completely amazing! I just about screeched when the Fedex guy brought up my three packages! I'm going to record my experience with LMP. It's going to be great - I hope! I just need a good camera! :) Here are some pictures of me with my new stuff!

More good news - Just over 2 weeks of Insanity left! Seriously - going to be great to be able to say "I finished" that program. And get a free shirt out of it! All in all - a great day :)
