My first 5K, WOW WAS IT HOT!

I thought I would share my 5K.  OH HELL YEAH!  I did it today!  It was so hot ( 87 degrees) outside but I ran most of the race and walked a couple time.  I finish in 1 hour and 20 minute.  I wanted better time but the heat was just that bad and the way I look at it, I AM THE WINNER!  I was able to keep up with the pack.  It kicked my butt and I kept telling myself there is a reason you are doing this 5K, and that is because I can!  I have beat obesity and look out world here I come and running with both feet down.  When this came up last year I told everyone they were out of there minds, no way can I run a 5K.  Well here is my proof! ENJOY! Hugs Kristen Just before the race. Me coming through the finish line for the second time cause no one saw my fast tail crossing it.  I told them to be ready but I was to fast for everyone!  Yeah I know I rock! Finally off my feet! Can I just tell you I LOVE A/C! WOOT!  No I did not pee myself, I through water all over me and I was not dead in this picture. This is how I celebrated afterwards, I really wanted a beer but spending the day in the water did me just fine.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go Kristen.  I'm so proud of you, and hopefully I'll be right there with ya next year!

Kristen, was this run downtown?  i was one one of the cyclists you guys were probaby cursing during the run.  They do the Ride (Tour 'dem Parks, hon) and a run the same Sunday every June.  Agree abou the weather - it was a scorcher out there.  We did 35 miles today and I'm still trying to get hydrated! 

Yeah that was me downtown and boy you guys pissed me off but it is all about sharing.  I think I was more pissed that you guys were not on foot.  35 miles YOU ROCK! WOOT!

Wow!! Congratulations Kristen!!! Love the pictures thanks so much for sharing them!.  

Kristen,  Congrats!!  You rock!!!  I am so happy for you and you look thrilled. I hope to be back in running condition soon.  However, the Dr. does not seem very optimistic.

Girl, you rock! Thanks for the inspiration!

Kristen,

Congrats. I know that you worked hard for this. Your Rock. I'm not sure what I am more jealous of your being able to loss all that weight and run or that awesome tan that you are sportying. I will be there one day with you all and the weight loss. Good job keep up the good work.
