I was so nervous about my first 10K which was last Saturday, 8/14th but I am back and proud to say I completed the whole thing- without a walk break! This is the first time I have ever ran over 4 miles straight and I did the entire 6.2! Yippee! My time is not the fastest- 1:01:35, but I am still very proud! When I started running last fall, I couldn't make it the end of the block and now I have completed a 5K and a 10K and more importantly, lost 25 pounds! YEAH!!!!!!!!

Sorry, just had to brag a little. Thanks for all of your support on MFP letting me know I could do it.

    I'm working on building up to a 10K at the moment -- completed Couch to 5K, working on Bridge to 10K currently. First run (4 miles) scheduled for next month and a 5K race scheduled for October. Next goal, a 10K.

    Again, congrats!!
