1st 5K

This morning I was woke up by this beautiful pic of the morning horizon from a very close friend who was out walking at like 7a. I recently joined a group here, Walking away the pounds, & the one the leader set up on FB also as a secret group. I got this friend to join also as she is struggling with her weight after 3 kids. Yesterday she text me & said she didn't think she's be able to hit the group goal (25 miles per week) as her history on her Bodybugg said she had only ever done a little under 6000 steps in a day & to hit the goal in a 7 day period is just under 7600 per day. I told her to start at say 5000 for a week & if she made it then move to like 6000, etc. Yeah I get this text then when she's done, she texts & reports on FB that she has done over 3000 steps already!!! Well, that got me out of bed! Then I log on here & see that Michael has been kicking butt & taking names & is very active & has lost 100lbs!!! What an inspiration. So I jump up grab my work out clothes & do a half mile warm up, week 1, & for me day 1 in full, of my sonic runner & then cool down at 3.0 walking pace until I hit 3.1 miles. I did it in 56 minutes, which I'm happy with considering this is my first 5K since surgery. Now the training really begins because I am signed up for The Color Run October 6th. I will run the entire thing!!

Thank you all for every type of inspiration you have given me!

loving my new sleeved life!!

 Great job!!!!  

 Yeah you for your success and helping out a friend.  It took me about 3.5 weeks once I really started training to be able to run an entire 5k, now another 8 weeks later I run up to 7 miles without stopping.  So it can be done!
