March 22, Rebirthday and the Crescent City Classic 10K

March 22...    Like the number 464 this day will always hold a special place in my heart.   Two short years ago on March 22, 2006 I started my weight loss journey - and oh what a journey it's been!   Making today even more special is my favorite race of the year, The New Orleans Crescent City Classic 10K is today.  This was my 'big goal' and one of the last goals on my original goal list.   Never did I think that I would be able to run 6.2 miles when I weighed 464 pounds, much less 26.2 as I did last month in the Mardi Gras Marathon.  It's literally going to be a walk in the park compared to the marathon but it's still special to me as is my annual running of the Mardi Gras Marathon will be.  I just may partake of the unusual aid stations that will be offered this morning course handing out beer, hot dogs, coffee and donuts.   :)

So I guess the only big point I still have to prove to myself will be in October 2009 when I toe the line in Kona for the Ironman.  That day is closer that I think.

Best of luck on YOUR journey!
