Ran a 5K today!!
Hello everyone,
I just had to post to let everybody know that I ran my first 5K today with my husband and son. It was great!!! I was so excited as this is something I have always wanted to do but felt as if I couldn't because of the weight. On mile 3 I was starting to hurt but my husband pulled me through and I didn't stop at all I ran the whole way. From what my husbands watch said I ran it in 30 min. 25 seconds. I was trying for an even 30 min. but it did take some time to get through the crowd.
Just wanted to share, I am so excited!!!!
Thanks!

Pat, Thank you so much!!! I do feel awesome! It is funny you talk about a year ago. During the race my husband tells me how proud he is of me and tells me to remember how far I have come since this time last year. He was like look at all the people you are passing and look how many there are behind you. He was just great today!!! I do feel like I am healthier life and it is great!!!
Thanks again!

Becky that is just wonderful more power to you. Can you answer me a question, I think deep down inside I would like to at least try something on the order of some sort of run what did you do to get yourself up to speed? I currenty don't think I could run but am willing to do what is needed to at least try. Any light you could shed would be very helpful. Again congratulations on a job very well done and to your husband for all his support that has really had to help you. Peg
