Heart Walk at Angel Stadium with the Family - 5k #5

Angel Stadium of Anaheim, 2000 East Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806, USA
This was more of a family outing than a race day.  I was originally going to do it with my cousin Sarah, and she was forming a walking team, so I didn't sign up to run. But at the last minute her poor little one got very sick, so Blake came and walked with me instead. We seriously just mosey, I didn't even time it. 

But we did get to right right though Angel's Stadium's baseball diamond, which was cool. 
(sidenote, pictures taken with Blake's phone sometimes look like someone way over airbrushed our faces... I hate it.)

It was the Anaheim Heart Walk and Sarah, my cousin, had created these great posters for the memorial signs.  This is our Uncle Chato who passes away a little over a year ago.

And this is Sara's dad who passed away a few years ago.


It really was a fun family day. I wish I could have run, but the walking group was dense and SLOW. Maybe next year I'll sign up to run. I was able to take part in the fundraiser and that made this event a lot more personal too. 



Kaleb even helped push Rachel for a while.


It was a good day.

Resolution Run 2015, by Get Fit for Bling - 5k #1 (Virtual)

MY FIRST 5K!!! It was the Resolution Run put on by Get fit for Bling, which I thought was appropriate.  It was also benefiting Autism Speaks, which is also awesome. 

Its the last day of January, and I decided to have a goal of one 5k a month this year. I'm so excited to do this. 


I went to the gym and ran it on a treadmill, in the best tee ever. My spirit Tee. 



This is my first (and only) attempt at a "during" selfie. This will not happen again. I almost fell.


Just like the couch to 5k training, I ran in jogging and walking intervals. I still pushed myself but I didnt over do it.


Best part? I did it. I DID IT. Me! The woman who hasn't done any intentional exercise (not really) in about three years. I'm so happy. 


I cant wait till I get my medal!
