Summer Break

I just finished up my first year of teaching preschool. It was such a blast and I loved every minute of it. This week has been so crazy but was still a lot of fun. I am looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. Last weekend our friend Matt had us run a 5k with him. If you have read earlier in the year you know that my knee has given me a lot of problems lately. I was just going to walk the whole thing and then when we  got there I got excited and told myself that I would jog the whole thing and only stop if my knee started to hurt. It did great and just kept on moving. I ran the whole race in 35 minutes. Not super fast but I was so happy that I was able to run without stopping and without pain. I think a lot of it has to do with my favorite Turbo Kick class I have been going to. It is such a good work out and has helped my legs to feel a lot stronger. I think I may have become addicted to running now. I signed up to do a 10k on Saturday and am so excited to see how the knee does at running a little more.

Here are a few pics of my cute little class. We were missing 2 students in the picture. They did such a good job singing their songs. They looked so cute. I am going to miss these little kiddos so much next year. 

We let our butterflies go. They didn't really want to fly very far at first. But eventually took off. 

Also, I am not one to usually post things about my weight but I am so excited that I finally got back to my pre-pregnancy weight this week! I lost all 60 pounds in 16 months. I am really excited to go backpacking and hiking this summer now that I am in better shape. What are your plans for the summer?
