Just had to share...I am so excited and proud of myself!!

I ran in my first 5K on Saturday...going in, my goal was simply to run the whole thing, and hopefully in about 40 minutes (I usually pace 12.5-13.5 mins/mile). Well, I finished...no walking...and did it in 37:45!!! I'm so stoked, I'm going to keep training and run in another 5K later this month!

AND...I finally cracked size 20 and fit into size 18 bottoms--I haven't been under size 20 in YEARS!!! (started this a size 24!)

YAY!!! :tongue:
