Where I run

Thought I'd show you guys a glimpse of where I jog. 

 This is over a little fishing bridge. I love jogging over it because it's so rickety and loud and just fun to run over haha.

 This part runs along a main road and a street on the other side with historic houses on it. Love it.

 This is the view from the little fishing bridge. It looks out right onto the Tennessee River. Most of the sidewalk runs along the river and it is just beautiful.

 This picture looks all warped because I didn't slow down to take the picture haha.

I like this part because it's surrounded by all woods.

That's basically what it looks like when I jog. I have been doing a lot better on my running. Although I think my running app was way off today. I ran the same distance but for some reason, it said I went a lot farther. Usually I run about 5.75 km but it calculated 6.52 today. Oh well, burned more calories so I'll take it haha. 

I have been doing some research on upcoming races and I found a couple I want to run. The main one that will be my first one is called the BlueCross Riverbend run in June. Some other ones I want to run are the Firecracker 5k. That one is in July. And some other ones I would like to attempt are of course the Susan G. Komen race for the cure 5k, the Jingle Bell 5k, the Turkey Trot 8k and the Karen Lawrence Run 4 mile. There are some other ones along the way that don't have the details posted yet like a mud run and a pie run. I am so excited. I hope to be able to do a half marathon by next summer. :)

 

Did I mention I lost 4 pounds this week? Holla!! I recently gained like 6 pounds back of the 11 I lost and was completely bummed but I think I set my mind straight and am back on track. So I am offically 190. Hey, I'll take it. 

I've been super sore these past couple days and am just famished when I finish a run. It also doesn't help that it's almost 100 degrees outside and the heat just sucks all of my energy out. I need to take a rest day but I feel like I'm flaking out so I may just walk on my rest days.
