Ran my 1st 5K!!!

Hey All! Hope you all had a great weekend! Saturday I did my first 5k! It wasn't pretty, but I did it! I finished second from last, but 82 pounds ago, it wasn't even an option!! During the race, I thought I would never do it again, but after I had a chance to recover, I decided that I will do some more to try to better my time. Next time I'll be better prepared for it! Remember, you can do anything you set your mind to! Cindy 234/152/134

Good for you, Cindy!!! Doesn't it feel amazing to accomplish something like that? Was yours a run or a walk? I'm about ready to WALK my second 5K on April 1st. I felt so good about the last one, I wanted to keep going. Great job!! ~Kerri

Hey Kerri, It was a run, but I couldn't run the whole time. I ran as much as I could, as often as I could. It was a really different experience for me. I've been just running/walking on my treadmill, so to move outside, with hills and the cold air was a big challenge. All and all I feel good about it! Cindy

Way to go Cindy! That is quite an accomplishment. Chip

Thanks Chip! It was an accomplishment for me, next time I'll do even better...maybe fourth from last!!! Cindy

Wow Cindy! That is so fantastic!!! I have always hated running so I probably admire you more than anyone here!!! I'll stick to my other forms of exercising but I am so very proud of you!!!! Jo

Hey Jo, Thanks!! I don't really enjoy it that much either, but it's good for me so I do it. Other forms of exercise work just as well, so keep up the hard work!! Cindy

Cindy that is awesome. I hope to do one before the year is over. thanks for sharing the news. Monica

Hey Monica, If you set your mind to it, you can do it! Check out the training schedule at www.runningtimes.com it really helped me get a plan together. Cindy

Hey Cindy, That is so awesome you have inspired me to start training! I hope I can finish like you did. Also what that guy said that you are a winner because you actually made it to the race itself is so true. Keep up the good work! Stacey
