New Kicks..

Sorry for those that read my blog only for Micah..this one is not about him, instead about me.
So I mentioned on here before that I'm going to do a 5k the first weekend in May.  As I've been attempting to train for it, I decided I must have been crazy when I signed up for it.  But anyway, the other day I realized my tennis shoes were at least 5 years old, and it was time for new ones.  So Saturday we went to the outlet mall and bought me some new shoes!  Brandon said I picked out boring ones and needed a new bright and exciting color this time. 

And today I went to the gym with my new shoes and decided to only walk a mile and do it as quickly as I could.  So my new time was 15 minutes 18 seconds!!  I'm so excited!  That doesn't sound impressive, but to me it's amazing!  My goal is to do the 5k in 45 minutes, so it's a start!  And seeing how it was only a week ago that I did 1 mile in just over 18 minutes..it feels pretty amazing!
And now the scary part...I've decided to take pictures of myself so I can hopefully watch my body shrink.  It's not pretty looking..but remember I had a baby only 6 and half weeks ago..and I'm 25 pounds less then prepregnancy...so here is the pics..and hopefully I'll see it shrink soon..

That's hard to look at..but it'll get better..and I don't have any prepregnancy pictures like this, but here I was at 11 weeks pregnant, for comparison purposes.

And a Micah picture to end on a happy note..he likes hanging out in the gym with me.
