Go Kerri! I am so inspired by you. I wish I had the energy to move so much. With my iron low, I know why I haven't had the gettyup to excersize! I hope to have that dealt with soon. Can't wait to see the pics! And I am jealous of the weather there too, it was -20 degrees this AM and my kids are home from school because of it! BBBRRRRRRRRR!!!! Wendy

Hey Monica that is great!! I did my first 5K walk when I was over 300 pounds. I did it in just over an hour. I remember the same feeling when I got to walk over the finish line. You did it even with a sprained ankle. Many kudos to you!!! Yes, Kerri is indeed an inspiration to us all. I have never attempted doing a 13 mile walk in one day. YIKES!! That's got to be hard on the feet and joints. Thanks for sharing your inspirating success story! Hugs, Lucy

Kerri that is exactly how I felt. I got a little teary when i finally saw the finish line come into view. The ankle is fine just a bit of cramping behind one thigh but I expected that since my legs are two different lengths there is always some challenge. I definitely plan to do more. No stopping me now. Please keep me posted on any coming up expecially for charity. If you get any links please pass then along. Would love to do more. Do you know how to find out your time. I think it took me about an hour but since i started in the third wave and forgot to look at the time when i actually started i would like to see what the official time was. Thanks for the encouragement to move and congrats on your great job yesterday. Monica

Lucy it is great to hear that you are mending. Good luck with the job interview. Monica

I am not a runner but it has been a goal to be a great walker. When Keri (scrappin gal) put out the challenge to us to get moving I accepted it. Yesterday I copleted my first 5k. First of many I hope. It was a little hard because I had sprained my ankle about a week before but I was determined to do it. Thanks to everyone on here that continues to inspire and support me. Monica
