Holy Race Day!
I was anxious with excitement this morning. I awoke even before the sun came up. I was trying to tell myself go back to sleep you will need this energy later. It didn’t really work. I think I dozed in and out but not back into a deep sleep. The day had finally came! Today was Lehigh Valley Half Marathon. I was running my first 5k.
This is what I had for breakfast about an hour before gun time.
An Arnold’s Sandwich Thin with 2 Tbsp Reduce Fat Peanut Butter.
It was pouring down rain! I worked my butt off to train for this and I never once rain in a down pour. I thought it won’t rain on race day. Boy was I wrong.
I don’t really have pictures of me during the race. I didn’t even run with music. I was afraid I would ruin my iPhone. I was probably about 45 degrees this morning. As I stood in line with on of my best of bestie buddies and another good friend of ours. I jumped around like a little kid. 1 I was trying to warm up and 2 I was bursting with excitement!
Finally 8:10 came. And bang the gun went off. I started out slow I wanted to run with my friend. My girl stayed with me for about 5 mins and then she said “Sue, go ahead, I want you to have a good time” So off I went! I really can’t explain all my thoughts and feelings during this entire time. It was raining so at one point I was thinking this shit sucks! Then the next minute I was so proud of myself to be running with all sorts of different people. I got to the 1 mile mark in 11 minutes. During my training I was running 13:30 minute miles. When I saw 11 minutes I was just about to cry.
At the water/Gatorade station people where cheering you on as you ran past. I grabbed a cup of water and keep going. Let me just tell you it is not easy to run and drink water at the same time.
And because I’m no litter bug I actually felt funny dropping my cup on the street. I actually had to tell myself that is what we do. When I say we I mean us “runners”! Finally I go to the 2 mile mark and just got this feeling. I can’t really explain. I sprinted for a few minutes because I knew I was almost done. My endorphins and adrenaline were pumping. Euforia! That is what a runner’s high is all about!!

Wrapped in a blanket and drinking water!

GoodBye!
Last Summer, Playing around on my good friend's crutches after his motorcycle accident.
I joined Weight Watchers Sept 2009. I weighed 191.8 lbs. This is the heaviest I have ever been in my life. Look I'm huge!
This pic was taken the same week I joined WW.
I swore to myself I would never let myself get this big ever again.
Good Bye Fat Girl and Hello New Me!!

Hello World!
Hello Blog World.
This is my very first post!!!
This is Me:
My name is Sue and I'm 27 years old. I named this blog Incredibly Sassy SueBee because well that's me. I'm an Incredible girl. I put my mind to something and I just do it! Sassy well that comes because I'm full of energy. Actually there is 2 different definitions. Rude and Disrespectful which is not me! Or Lively and Spirited and that is me!! SueBee that is my nickname that my best of bestie friends gave me years ago. Ever since then it has just stuck. That's right SueBee just like the honey.
Hmm, what to write about me? I have done some crappy things in my life but that is what makes me who I am today. And really who hasn't done some crappy things at least once in their lifetime.
I married the love of my life March of last year. I have 2 wonderful step children that I love with all my heart. I work at a recruiting firm. I love to read, do scrapbooks, and just hang with my family and friends. My family and friends mean the world to me. My friends and family. They hold me up. I can't do it alone.
