Ran my first 5K and placed 4th in my age group! With before

Options
I started my weight loss journey in August and have lost 25 lbs so far. Along the way I started running a bit and today was my first 5K. To my surprise I placed 4th in my age group and had a personal best time! I have a before pic that was taken a few years ago and the second pic is from today after the race with my husband.

    Well done! You and hubby are looking good! Awesome that you are doing things together..... wonder whether I should also train for that 250km 7-day endurance event that my husband's currently training for - Nahhhhh! I'd rather come and join you on the 5km's. Well done! A lot of reasons to be SUPER proud of yourself!
