A year ago I could barely walk a mile. Just ran my second 5K in 28 minutes and 28 seconds. I'll take that as a win. uqhwnwt71tjz.jpg

    Great going man! I'm hoping to emulate this, before I couldn't walk up the stairs without getting hopelessly out of breath and now I'll be doing the Color Vibe 5K like you in June!

    RESPECT!!!!!!!

    one day i hope to do this too

    A half year ago ( almost) i started to lose weight.
    I couldnt walk a half mile without being out of breath, heart racing etc.

    Now 177 days later i can jog for 20 to 30 minutes
    Walk 3.5 mile in about an hour ( and do the jog in those minutes when my knee is up to it)

    But really running a 5K is still long away.
    I so admire the people who made it to that point. And i will get there some day too :)

    for now lost 85 pounds and the jogging is getting easier...slowly but every little step is one towards my goal to run a 5K some day too.
