    Hay, Navy men have the sexiest dress uniforms of them all!

    thank you... I guess it's a little hard to run a 5K in that uniform :laugh:

    I'm so jealous - :love: Firemen and Marines


    I wanna sign up for the Fireman and Marines 5k. Where is THAT one held? :love:
    :laugh: I've not run a 5k before, and I barely trot for 3 minutes before getting tuckered out but one day I plan to participate.

    You can do it! I started my running a year ago, more of running in place in front of the TV and was out of breath quickly. BLAHHH!!! I'd set my timer for 10 minutes and jog during a commercial. Only a few days when by and I decided that 10 minutes although for lazy me was tiring, I could do more. I'd set my timer for 30 minutes and stop it when the show I was watching came back on. During a commercial break I would continue the time. I would repeat this until my 30 minutes was completed.

    I then thought to myself, "Self? Get out of the house and try the road!" So I put shoes on and trotted down the road only to get a few houses down. I kept up the work and went further and further. Now I kind of figure when I get tired, I'm only out of breath, I'm not DYING! So I push further.

    The rest is history! Hokay, maybe not history...but I'm not as tired or lazy anymore. LOL

    What's the difference between Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force?

    :laugh: Great story!!
    I have a similar version about this girl who looked like a Hooters waitress during my last 1/2 marathon, but yours is better.
    But, it is time for you to fess up. You placed in the top 5% - doesn't sound too Saint Bernard-ish to me.

    Placing in the top 5% just means I was a better guesser than most. LOL

    Thanks though! I am so thankful to be off the couch and keeping busy!

    Thanks so much for this story! What an inspiration! Your goals are TOTALLY my goals!!! :) And you're quite the funny writer, too! :)

    I just started a couch to 5k in 6 weeks (May 2nd) and today was my first 1 mile run--I was so pleased that I ran the whole thing. Okay, granted, it was a pretty slow jog, but I didn't need to stop once. Tuesday is my next "run" day and I'm hoping to do more like 1.5 to 2 miles.

    And LOVE the firemen and marines, LOL. That makes it all the better!

    Great job, good for you. You should make your avatar a picture of you in your new fancy t-shirt! :)
