Yes!! This girl! My Ashley! My baby my oldest girl! She has been on a journey of wanting to lose some weight and get into fitness. She joined her local gym and set out on the Advocare 24 day challenge back in August. She dropped 11lbs in that 24 days and was totally excited. She has signed up for the 8k Turkey Trot and wants to beat her time from two years ago. I don't think she will have a problem at all. Just in our walk/run 5 miles last week while on vacation in Florida, she beat her time by 6min. When she ran the Turkey Trot 2 years ago her time was 1hr 17min and was 20lbs lighter. So she was so thrilled with our time and is now very motivated to beat this time even if by only 3 min.
Needless to say this has me absolutely thrilled that she has picked this running thing up and wants to live a healthy and fit active lifestyle.
We went on a run last night after she got off work. The goal was to do 5 miles but that if she was too tired or if the weather was too cold we would just do 2.5. I could tell this run was pretty rough on her because it was not only cold the wind was pretty strong as well. Well not only did we finish the 5 miles we went a little farther and in pretty decent time. 5.10 miles in 1 hour and 13min. Not bad considering it was after a long day of work and it was cold! Switching from vacation running in Florida to good ole cold winter Ohio running is a big switch!
Love this!
