I'd like to start off by stating that I, Terri Knight have achieved a PR with distance today while running. 5 Miles Baby! Sure, that's not nearly as impressive as
this girls 22 but for me
(a mere mortal) I'm impressed! I also feel amazing after the run Not like DEATH which was how I felt last week after my 4.25'er. That in my book is always good! Isn't it weird how one day running can be absolute hell and then the next it feels good and is actually
(gasp) fun?! I only say fun because I am starting to see the differences in my body
(due to running) and the fact that I remember a year ago when I couldn't run one minuet solid and now I'm running miles solid- that is just FUN in my book.
I also saw a teen aged guy running down my street the other day wearing one of these:
I thought to myself, "Well hell, I'm more hardcore than I thought!" I've got an extra 70lbs on me currently and I run with it every time so technically I'm just badass. Hahaha I think it would be amazing one day when I finally lose the rest of my weight to put one of these suckers on and marvel at how fat I once was. Oh, how I long for that day to come! Until then I guess I can just marvel in my fatness now. Fail.

On to other news: I am packing for a trip to Seattle, WA this week! We leave tomorrow (Yes, I'm flying on September 11th and Yes, my mom is FREAKING out on me about it.) and will be back late Wednesday night. I won't be blogging while we are gone so this is my farewell until next Thursday! Maybe then I can let you in on why we are going and what we accomplished while there. Sneaky Sneaky I know. On another fun note, my father is also flying on Sunday...and guess to where: Washington, DC. Now, I'm a little more nervous about that one but in my opinion I think it will be the safest day to fly due to security being crazy I'm sure. I can't wait to be back in Seattle... I just love that place!
Here are some pictures from the last time we were there:
PS. Don't judge me these are before I started losing weight.
The last one was stolen from Google.
I steal a lot of pictures from Google. Sorry Google.
Be back Thursday with lots of stories I'm sure!
