Getting closer to your goal weight really sucks. It takes A LOT longer and A LOT more work to take the weight off the closer you are to being done! I lost half a pound this week, but it didn't count for losing anything because of that stupid rounding up and down rule. I worked my butt off this week! If I were to lose a pound a week from here on out, I would be at my goal weight October 8th. Sigh. Feels like forever from now.
In other news I've signed up for two races. The first is Young Life Capernaum of Hampton Roads Stroll and Roll 5K on June 29th. You can walk, run, use a wheel chair, etc. If you want to sign up and support Capernaum, click here. I'm real excited about it. This is the first 5K that I will actually run the whole thing without stopping. The second race is the Virginia Beach Rock and Roll Half Marathon. I did this race once before with my aunt and I'm real excited to train for this race. I walked and ran the last half (mostly walked) and this time around I really want to be able to run the whole thing. Hence the training. Still seriously considering running the Portland Rock and Roll Half Marathon next May if any of my Canyon Family/PNW friends want to run it with me! Sarah Morrow!
I'm still proud of myself and how far I've come since the beginning of this journey. I saw this thing on Pinterest recently that said something to the effect of "It's not just about how much further you have to go, but how far you've come!" 73 pounds down definitely outweighs the 17 that I still have to lose!

All in.
You can do the half! I ran most of the Shamrock. Just come up with a game plan, i.e. run until fort story and then walk on base so you have enough stamina to run the rest of the way!
