My first 5K stats from 8/27-

I share these stats on MFP not to brag, but to say that i feel healthy and i love it. If i can help someone else find the same success as i have had then i am playing it forward and helping others as people on this site have helped me in so many ways. It has helped me fine my way to be healthy and i am teaching my children the lessons i was never taught.

Thanks all for your support and YOU CAN DO IT cause i did!!!

    This is so inspiring! Thank you for posting :) I'm hoping when the spring comes around I'll be confident enough to run a 5K, and you'll hear all about it.
    Have a great day!

    That is awesome! I just finished my 3rd 5k a couple weeks ago and I know how great it feels to make that time shorter each time! You are a great inspiration!
