the 5k is done! and let me tell you, it was even harder than i had even imagined. it ended up being two miles of uphill, at a pretty steep grade. i didn't stop once the whole climb, because i was afraid if i took a break, i wouldn't get started again! once we finally got to the top, i thought i was going to die. but then we ended up jogging the entire way back down to the finish and it was good. my legs are still really sore, but it was a fun experience and i'm glad i did it.
i did some packing today for the cruise. it's pretty hard to try to pack for 16 days, but i'm making some progress. i'm still stressed out the flight to barcelona, but i'm hoping the cruise itself will be a fun time. i'm trying to have a positive attitude, anyway.
i'm still working out and walking all the time. i've sort of stopped paying as much attention to weight loss and just focus on the fact that i think i look a lot fitter, and i feel fitter too. i've definitely built some good muscle and my jeans fit better than they did before. i'm going to try to eat as healthy as possible on the cruise and still try to work out, but we'll see how it goes.
i guess that's all i've got for now!
