Surf City 5k Runner/Walkers!!!!
Two of my friends met me at the starting line and were very inspired by everyone and thier weight loss stories.
Melody and her friend Kathy, Willa & James, Jenine and Harley, Christina, and myself had a fabulous time.
I took a lot of pictures, me and my friend walked/ran together. So we chatted and goofed around a lot. So not a great race time, but a fun time for sure.
I am so proud of the first timers!!! I hope you catch the running bug!
I'll post some upcoming events in the future for those of you who are still thinking of coming out and trying a 5k, it's a fun time and a great opportunity to get some exercise.

I wanted to say thanks to everyone for insiring me to do this. Willa and Monica especially. I loved it. I have to admit that as much as I work out at the gym, the front of my lower legs are still hurting me. So was my lower back, but I think that was from dragging my little girl most of the way. I am so proud of her. She insisted on going, I don't think she fully realized how far it was, even after I tried to explain it to her. But she didn't give up and in fact, she went swimming later on that day without even taking a nap. Poor old Mom had to take a snooze before she could go swimming. James, thank you for getting her the medal. That was very nice and it meant a lot to her. Anyway, it was nice meeting new friends and I look forward to doing another 5K real soon. Christina, don't let those stalls get you down. Look how far you have come and look what you just acomplished! You did a 5K! Monica, you do have me hooked. I am already thinking about trying to run part of the next one if my knees let me. WE ALL ROCKED! Laura
