Ran my 1st 5K!

I accomplished another one of my goals, and ran a 5K race at the Chicago Blackhawks Training Camp Festical this past weekend. I finished in a respectable 30:15. I'm very happy with that, considering I could barely job a half mile 6 weeks ago. I'm still not even close to my daughter's time, but that's what goals are for!

Thanks. I could NOT have done it without following MFP and losing 30 pounds (so far!). If I could do it, anyone can. You just have to put your mind to it. Good luck to those with upcoming races...it's a lot of fun, and the accomplishment you feel afterwards is unbeatable!
