my fitness WOW moment-pic heavy

Just wanted to share that last night I RAN, yes RAN, all but about 10 steps, my first 5K!!!!!
When I signed up for the race, I set my goal at 43 minutes or less....well my official time was 29.48! HOLY ****!!!!!
What a great feeling...I can't even explain.  To think a year ago @ 300+lbs you couldnt have paid me to run 3 minutes let alone 3 miles!

Here's are a few shots of me after the race :)

just crossed the finish line:


waiting for my official time:


beyond excited that I finished in under 30:


here is a shoot of me from a rugby game last year (im in green)...what a difference in fitness levels:


Thank You for looking & happy Friday!  

Way to go!!!! Congrats! It looks like all that hard work paid off! You're a true inspiration

thank you thank you thank you...I used the Couch2 5K program...guess it worked! :)

You're most welcome...besides you've earned it!   I started that program recently, but I am I pre-op.  I'm hoping to be just as successful someday 

my advice is to take it at your own pace and stick with it! you will be amazed at what your body is capable of once you get past the "head" stuff :)

Very cool ! Great time as well !!!!

thanks Nate :)
