Blogger of the year?

Posting blog posts once a month will probably not earn me blogger of the year recognition (if there is such a thing), so I will try to be more active...
I think where we last left off I was maintaining my weight loss post accomplishing goal #1 of losing 30 pounds.  Still true. I've been maintaining 35 pounds lost for a couple of weeks now.  It's been hard to lose weight when there are parties, cookouts, brunches, making Sean's favorite meals before he goes back to school...but I'm in a good place of balancing all of that with exercise and (still) tracking everything I eat.  I know once he goes back, I'll be able to settle into a better routine of cooking better meals for Rose and I.

Today I ran in my 4th race.  The 5K for JA Donut Run here in Hudson.  It was a nice, small (101 runners) event starting at the new green in downtown Hudson.  I came in 14th overall, 4th in my age group.  Who knew 50+ so was competitive?  There were 5 of us in the top 15 overall! I'm gonna have to up my game if I want to win my age group! I felt pretty good and the weather and temps were perfect, so unlike the Winking Lizard "Shot in the dark" 4 mile race last month when it was in the 90's, I was able to finish with no walking and actually felt pretty good.  I missed a PR by 17 seconds.
So, all caught up...hope everyone is having a great summer, and I hope to be a bit more active in the upcoming weeks.
