I did it!!! Well, who knows, but it’s been about two weeks and I have yet to eat any candy at work. Snacks are allowed, but only fruits and almonds. Also I’ve effectively limited myself to just one bag of chocolate a week.

Not just that…I ran the 10k! I’ve never run a race before in my life and it was pretty exhilarating. I credit Outward Bound for having given me the confidence to do this…I went on a trip with them the week before the race, and mountain biked 300 kilos in 3 days. I had no idea my body was capable of this.

The only other race I’ve ever run was the Habitat for Humanity Midnight Mile. I’m a terrible runner and it would be great if I could actually accomplish this in a reasonable amount of time!
