First 5K after 68 lbs loss in 8 months

NCFootballCoach

I have lost 68 lbs since January 24th, dropped 8 inches in my waist and who knows how much in face, legs, chest, neck, etc. It is 109 lbs. since January 2, 2010. So today was the 5K!!! Had good shoes, slowly progressed for a month from 1 mile to 2 miles...so I had never actually run a full 3.1 miles before today. Finished in 33:11!!! Would have been better time, but I had to stop at the 2 mile mark to pee in the trees which took a while because of how much water I have been drinking. The hardest part of the run was after stopping to pee and getting my muscles back in the flow. Probably lost a good 4 minutes because of that pause in the run...all in all felt good though. Knees don't hurt (yet), it's my *kitten* muscle's that do! LOL...so now onto focusing on running every other morning until high school football season is done, and then it's time to get focused on another 5K!!!
