A friend and I ran/walked the Race for the Cure 5K this morning! We completed it in just over 33 minutes!!! For someone who was definitely obese and loathed physical activity just 9 months ago, this is a huge accomplishment!

I'm really proud of myself and of my friend - I was actually a great motivator to her and she did really well!

Thanks to MFP for helping me reach my goals!

    Congrats!! Running is one of the hardest things for me so I have considered entering a 5k for added motivation. Glad to hear you did well!

    That is awesome! Be warned, races are addictive! I started with a 5K and ran a marathon a year & a half later!! :laugh:
