It's official!!! I'm a distance runner.......

 Hey BAF!!!!  Thanks MSW, Jus Chan and Lee for the love - I didn't see the thread until I got home, but the spirit was with me!!!!

I ran the FULL 10K(6.2 miles) and finished in.........

one hour and 16 minutes

That's a slow time - but hell - I've never run that far EVER before, so ANY time was a good time for me! LOL - my homie finished 5 min ahead of me, but a full 13 min ahead of her last time in a 10K.  That's roughly a 12.25 minute mile - better than my usual 13.5 min mile I've run in the past.  

I feel GREAT...and sleepy than a mofo - bout to take a nap that would make mummies jealous - but had to post here real quick.  Ironic - my race number was 351.  That's 7lbs less than my weight the day I went into WLS.  That was pretty symbolic for me.  Here I am, a little over 5 years later, still doing things I have never done, accomplishing things I never thought my body could do and having a BALL!!!!!

So - today - I ran my first 10K.  Weighing 215lbs.  That, my friends, is the precise definition of.......

HAULIN ASS!!!!!!!!

 so don't say SHYT to me about what you are too tired to do, what it hurts too much to move or what you ain't got time for!!!!!!  You CAN do whatever you have it in you TO do....so get up, get out and GET IT DONE. 

You already called me a dork sooooo

I would say congratulations to anyone else

I'm going to say congratulations to Baby Girl for putting up with you.

Hmmph!

 hmmph right back! LMAO

!!!!! Well done lady!!! Congrats. Like I said, you keep me on my game MM!!

 Thanks B!!!  Hey - ain't nothing TO it but to DO it!!! 

  I knew you would finish and that's a great time too!  How many folks at any weight could make it in that time when they just started running this summer?  You've done us PROUD!    


ETA:  Kowing races start early, I ment to haul MY @$$ up early to cheer you on but well... you know...   lol. 

 Thanks MSW!!! I really didn't know how good a time that was till I researched later - 50 min for a woman is the 'typical' - so I was only 26min off - now I have a goal to shoot for.  But - just FINISHING was my goal for this, so I'm a STAR!!!!!

Fantastic! So when are you doing a full marathon?

 See how you do ONE lil thing and SOME mofos take it ALL the way there?????

LOL!!!

a full marathon??? shhhyyyyyytttttt - put me down in the schedule for next to 'never'.  I am doing a HALF marathon in Nov - THAT is the APEX and END of my challenging running career. 

I'm old AND fat - let's not try to pretend Imma become FloJo, m'kay?  LOL!!!! 

But you got the FloJo nails to match.... LOL!
