    You can do this! A 5k race is so much different than running on your own. I bet you will be surprised at how well you will do! The sideline motivation, the crowd, the rush is so exhilarating! It will fuel you.

    Thanks Chessie...I actually shared a link on the first page of this thread to my blog that told about the race! And everything you said in your comment happened!

    Isn't it crazy how at first you're thinking "I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT" and you feel so unathletic and then boom you're running a 5k. It's the best feeling.

    It absolutely IS the best feeling! I had a fantastic day yesterday...even after the race. I was just so happy and amazed at myself.

    Amazing work! I'm proud of you, and I don't even know you!! :) I remember my first 5k SO vividly... I think I cried pretty much the entire way, lol. I've done many races since. The excitement never gets old. So, will you be signing up for another race? ;)

    Lol! I need all the supporters I can get! This thread was a big part of how I was able to push through and get 'er done. I have already been scoping out local races in my area. Rest assured, you folks will be the first to know!!
