I finished my first 10 K today in 1:10:17! My goals were to finish in 1:20 or less (5 miles/hour pace) and to run the whole thing--I met/exceeded both of my goals and I'm feeling great!!!

I've had rheumatoid arthritis since I was 5 and have been overweight my ENTIRE adult life. If I can do it, so can you! I hope this message reaches anyone who has thought about running but didn't believe they could. YOU CAN! :happy:

Thanks to everyone that's supported me and loved me--I'm beginning to believe in myself as much as you have all along :happy:
