Default First 5k down...

I am so happy, I just had to share. Tonight, I ran/walked a 5k. I had three goals - 1 - Finish. 2 - Finish under 45 minutes. 3 - Not be last.

Well it was my first ever 5k and I accomplished all three!!! My official time is yet to be determined - but according to my clock, it was around 41:37. Now I know that is absolutely pathetic in the real runners world, but I am ecstatic. A year ago, I was 60 pounds heavier and couldn't have run a block, let alone a 5k. I have never been a runner so I am just really proud of myself! And my hubby and kiddos even came to cheer me on! Woohoo!

Whats kind of weird...I'm ready to sign up for another. I guess we will see what happens! Thanks for letting me share!

YAYAY!!! Go you!!! Congrats, that is a huge accomplishment.

Sign up, sign up.


I'm currently getting ready for my first, on Halloween, in a hippie town with my bestie (she's actually a runner, I on the other hand, am not, never have been, however....it could be addicting)

I've actually gotten to the point where I feel weird if a few days go by and I don't go for a run. Everyone keeps telling me it is addicting.
