my first 5k

So, after all of the training, today was my race. I knew that my husband who had trained with me would not be therer because of an impromptu meeting at work. What I didn't know was that my brother would come to run with me (what a little darling) and that my mom and friend would come to walk it in support of me. (their 1st 5k also)
    I fully expected to be last, and though many walkers finished before me, I didn't finish last. I had hoped for a time of less than 60 minutes and finished in under 50! (Awaiting the official results this afternoon.) The point is I finished! I jogged in intervals with my little brother at my side. I may have been a little fast er, but it was barely 40 degrees and I had trouble getting my breath.
    I am completely blown away by the accomplishment. Not even 8 months ago, my doctor assured me that if my weight was not addressed, I would not see my son grow up. I am now over 100 pounds lighter and just finished a 5k. I wouldn't have dreamed this possible a short time ago. I just want people to know that there is hope just beyond the hopelessness of obesity. You really must just dream it, then do it!

Congrats!!! That is a major accomplishment! I really want to find a race to do out here next spring...it's on the bucket list (that list just keeps getting smaller!)

Way to go gurl!!!!
