    You are awesome!! well done!!
    Running 5K at 300 pounds is a lot harder than running 5K at 150-200 lbs - you're basically hauling more weight around on your feet.
    I have huge amounts of respect for you and just know that your next 5K'er will be faster, easier and even more awesome.

    I have to say that I LOVE this post because you are 300lbs and running races!! I didn't start running until Feb/March this year, but am currently training for a half marathon. When I started running, I had lost 100lbs and was a little over 200lbs. I see people all the time saying 'when i lose more weight i'm going to start running, or doing zumba, or whatever'...... I always tell them don't wait til you get to a certain weight, just freaking do it.... You are a prime example, and that's so awesome!!

    Thats amazing!! so proud of you!! This is something too that I have always told myself...not so much over weight because I see people everyday bigger than I who ARE doing it and it makes me feel lazy lol I have low back problems so it makes it tough but I am trying to add even a slow jog to my routine and this is just the inspiration I need to keep going!! Thank you!! :)
