Today I did the Run or Dye and while it took forever to finally get started it was a lot of fun and nice to know that I could actually do it! I run another one in four weeks!

I would have never been able to do this two months ago, it is exciting to see how far I have come.

    Doesn't it seem amazing to be able to run a 5k? I did my third one today and nearly ran all of it (2.94) before the heat and humidity did me in. I finished by walking the rest.

    Congrats on your first but certainly not your last 5k!!

    Thank you everyone, it was wonderful and I was happy to accomplish that goal I had set for myself. Now I am looking for more 5Ks and am planning my training to move up to 10k!
