Although it is the slowest race I've done since I started running, it's also the one where I've run for longer distances without walking. Go figure! I'm still processing my execution. Once I'm done processing, I'll delete this note and post a blog or vlog. 2013 Fog Run - January 12 - 49:09 L.A. Big5K - March 16 - 48:53 **I have to note that this race had three hills compared to the rest of my races none of which had hills so I think this was my best time all things considered Run Through the Roses - September 7 - 48:17 2012 Color Me Rad - June 30, 2012 - 50:02 Run Through the Roses - September 8, 2012 - 48:40 2011 My first 5K - Run for a Reason - April 2, 2011 - 50:50 My 2nd 5K - Run Through the Roses - September 10, 2011 - 48:55 *************************************** I am no longer looking into the future... I'm living the NOW!! Tomorrow's not a promise, but today is completely full of possibilities. I'm willing to work hard and put into this journey what I'm hoping to get out of it. I'm gonna work my butt off, eat healthy, work on my positive mentality, and do my best to achieve great results. I read this in someone's blog and she's sooo right: this isn't a race, it's a journey. I'm working at being healthy, but also on having one heck of a journey!!

I stole this prayer from a DONE sister's SparkPage... I hope she doesnt mind, but I thought it was fitting to me as well: Dear God, I surrender my body & my weight loss to your divine care and love. I ask that you remove all excess & unnecessary weight from my body. Return my body to its most healthy & balanced state. Give me eating habits that support my health & life energy. And, finally, teach me to love my body & to care for it from this day forth. AMEN Be strong & courageous. Do not be discouraged; do not be terrified, for the Lord, my God, will be with me wherever I go.

My goal is to be healthy and fit so my husband and I can live a long, healthy life and explore the world through travel. We've been bitten by the travel bug.

Plan and prep healthy, low-carb meals and snacks. Drink plenty of water and have it available at all times. Zumba classes Train for 5K charity races I am putting my life in the hands of God and letting Him use me and move me however He needs me. But in order for me to be ready to take on any task He sets for me, I must be healthy and active enough to do Him proud. He's my motivation.

My name's Maricela, I'm 35 years old, married, loving life and looking to hold on to it for as long as I can.
