    Wow - what an accomplishment. That's a really great job. How long did you train to get ready for it? I often thought about trying to run a 5K, but I'm not sure I'd be able to complete it. Keep up the good work!!!

    I actully learned that i shoulda trained more:sad: i have a really hard time runnin (cant breathe) so i do mostly the stair master and stuff like that about 5 days a week for the last 6 months. I definatly need to train harder at the running thing for the next one. I thought it would be so easy since i can fly up the stairs on the stairmaster but not the case this time.
