drum roll please:...........................


I ran in my very first ever 5K today and I RAN the whole thing!!!! I did not stop to walk and recover, I RAN!!!!! I am so proud of myself. It took me about 40 minutes, so I wasn't running THAT fast, but I WAS running!

I feel so accomplished.:blushing: :love: :bigsmile:

When I began getting ready for this around Thanksgiving, I could not run three minutes without huffing and puffing. I ran for 40 minutes straight today, the longest time I have ever spent running in my life EVER. I was so impressed by the half-marathoners, and I want to BE that girl, who is so fit and so healthy. I'm on my way!

I'll be signing autographs later, for whoever is interested..:laugh: :blushing:

YAY!!!!!!

    Now you will continue to not only run but to keep cutting minutes off of your time!
