Apr 13, 2008
Well, even though I haven't been on here for a while, I still had to post my most recent accomplishment. I ran a 5K yesterday (well actually it was a 5.4K which is 3.6 miles instead of 3.1 miles). I ran my best time ever about 9 1/2 min per mile!!!!!I have been training for the past two plus months with a trainer at the gym doing training on the treadmill and then running in my neighborhood, as well as down, by the river in Harrisburg. It is so amazing, me running?!?!?!?!?! I actually am enjoying it. Making the small goals and then acheiving them. This was my New Year's resolution, to run a 5K. For the past, oh, 25 years it has been to loose weight, well since I am taking care of that I could actually make a different resolution. I am not sure where this notion of running came from but obviously from somewhere deep within me, perhaps it has been a subconcious desire of mine that I didn't even realize????
The 5K was for Autism. I have worked with children with Autism for over 8 years now and those kiddos hold a special place in my heart!!!! Not only was this an accomplishment for me but I raised $600 for our local Autism Chapter. The race was at 10:00 and then they held a walk at 12:00, many of my students and their families were there. I think the kids were pretty confused. "Why is Miss Emily at the park, she is supposed to be at school!!!" I loved seeing them outside of school and walking to help themselves!!!!
I posted some pics so you can see me in action :)
