WE CAME, WE SAW, WE KICKED THE MILE!!!!!!

This is the blog I have been waiting to do for the past five weeks. I was going to enter it last night, but was so busy with interviews and stuff yesterday, we crashed at the end of the day.

So after 5 weeks, Erin has lost 24 pounds and I have lost 19. This is deffinately an exciting time for us. Because we are not even close to being done, and we have no intention to quit.

Thr most anticipated day was here yesterday. The Blue Mile Run. Over 2000 people running or walking downtown and stoppong traffic. You know, when you watch the marathons on tv, I either think, that doesn't look so hard or I'm never going to do that. Boy was I wrong. Cold, windy weather didn't help with the first run. But it was great feeling to do the race. There were times when I had to walk, but when it came time to get to a stop light, I ran as hard as I could. I didn't want the cars that were waiting for us to pass think I was lazy. But when I saw the the final stretch.... with the blue line, that was more reality than I expected. WE FINISHED THE BLUE MILE!!!!! To the doctors who said that Erin couldn't run....GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!! I am so overly proud of her to do this. I wouldn't have done it without her. But this was a powerful experience.
And we are looking to go even further.

Oh yeah, the numbers so far. Erin finished the mile in under 15 minutes and I finished in 11.45 minutes

And to date, she has lost 24 pounds and I have lost 19.

We would like to thank ALL family and friends who voted for us and has been behind us 100% in our journey. We have only just begun.....wait.....no I won't sing. But we have begun something really big to be smaller. Keep an eye out on our blog for more updates.

And what's next? Rebecca is wanting to know if we might be interested in the Crush..... ummm baby steps.. but you never know.

Working to Stay Healthy
