Oh, thank you Oak. I also think that it is great to be surrounded by persons all doing something healthy and great as running. 
I cannot wait.
Actually I came across other 2 races. One is half marathon in August. I think this would be too much for me, but I still have some time to think about it. The second one is the one that inspire me the most, the color run!!! It would be 2 weeks after the 10k run and it is far more expensive, but I think that it will be FUN!! Considering to sign in for that as well!!

Considering to sign in for that as well!!Today I had the strangest dream about my first boyfriend. I think it is normal, but sometimes I still think of my first boyfriend. It doesn't mean I would cheat on my husband or something strange. I just like to think of those feelings, the exitement of discovering love (not sexualling) for another person for the first time. It just brings me so many sweet memories.
In the dream we found ourselves in very strange contexts (almost naked in an hotel room) and I was a bit afraid someone could see us and think bad. But I also felt safe, the same way I always felt with him.
I have the same safe feeling with my husband, but somehow in a different way.
Oh well. Today I had a salad with chicken and olives. I also had a banana in the evening.
I went for circuit training class and after that I run 5k in 39minutes.
Getting back on track.
Tomorrow I have an important meeting. Let's keep the finger crossed and lets hope things will go fine!

Today I had very nice lunch. I had green salad with cucumber and tomatoes, 2 sausages and some potatoes. I also had a slice of bread. I used olive oil as spread on the bread (still avoiding milk for stomach issues) and on the salad. In the evening I had a lovely salad with tomatoes, cucumer and seeds. If you probablz noticed, so far I was eating only once a day, which it is 1) not healthy at all, and 2) it causes binges at some point. So I am introducing other meals little by little. My goal is to reach the 5 meals per day recommanded by the doctors. 3 main ones and 2 light snacks. Today I had Zumba classes and run for 3km on the treadmil. Actually I planned to run 7km, but I could not manage to set the right input in the machine. Arghh!! Once I thought of restarting over, but I already stopped and my legs started to fill the pain after the Zumba class. Tomorrow I will run 7km, no matter what. Today while I was at the Zumba class I was brave and went in the first raw just behing the trainer. I am not crazy about Zumba, in fact I don’t like at all. But I know it is good for me, expecially because I am not coordinated at all. I never had any kind of dance course in my life, and I noticed it helps a lot with being more coordinated and even with balance (another thing I suck at). The ironic part was that today I was also wearing much tider cloths than usual (I forgot to do my gym bag the day before). While I was jumping and following all the movements I also looked to myself in the mirror. It is something I try not to do, because usually I get really demotivated. I see myself as far and I body shame myself in my mind. Today was different. I saw myself in such tidy cloths and I thought “hey, not THAT bad”. I still had some fat roll showing when I bended and all, but I noticed I actually have pretty long tapered (?) legs. Also my arms are pretty long. I should tone them up because they do look floppy. What I thought was my worse part ever was my core. It is not good looking, but in such tide cloths, it was not THAT BAD. So I thought, what if I only would need to tone up and not actually lose weight? I mean, I have always liked the idea of not being a slave of the number of the scale. Whatever it is, 50, 60, 70… if you feel good and you look good in your opinion, whatever number the scale says, it is fine. But sometimes listening to that number it is just easy. After all, how can you easily measure how “toned up” you are? There is not really a scale for that. So many factors affect how you perform a workout, so the scale it is just easier as a reference. However I should try not to think too much of numbers and go with how I feel (I love how exercise and runs make me feel) and how I think I look.
Also last night I had a dream about my first boyfriend. I don’t really know what is wrong, if there is anything wrong. I mean, I am totally in love with my husband and really love and respect him. He does so much for me and I appreciate it so much it goes beyond words. So, why those dreams? I also feel a bit guilty because I always wake up with such a satisfying feelings after those dreams. The dreams are totally innocent and I just love how safe those thoughts and memory make me feel. Maybe I am just thinking too much, and they are just dreams after all. Something I cannot really control.
Today was another good day. I had both breakfast and dinner. For breakfast I had 2 clementines and half glass of orange juice. Lovely and a lot of vitamins right there! Then for lunch I had minced meat stakes with baked potatoes (seasoned with olive oil and herbs) and some kind of salsa. I got it at work and forgot the name of the salsa, however it was similar to sweet and sour sauce. I also had some nuts and seeds on it and 1 slice of white bread. In the evening I went for a 7km run. It was challenging, I admit it. I am not even sure how I made it through the last km. My legs were hurting and I slowed down, even walked fast for some seconds. But the main thing is that I made it to 7km, which was my goal of the day. Me happy. At home I had dinner with a lovely salad with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, seeds with lemon juice. Very nice I have to say. I am pretty happy for today, especially because tomorrow I cannot go to any class or running because I am travelling and have a lot of work to do. But I will try to walk as much as possible.
