First 5k

My wife and I ran our first 5k this weekend, but it was not a normal 5k, it was an off road 5k in the Arizona desert. We had a blast and finished 21st and 22nd out of 125 runners. It’s amazing how much better I feel and what I can accomplish after losing 70+ pounds. I am only 3/4 of the way there on my weight loss, planning to lose another 30 pounds.

Congratulations!! You are an inspiration! I'm relatively new to my running journey, but I decided to use a couch to 5K program as part of my regular workout routine, and just ran my first chip-timed race (of only 1 mile) a few weeks ago. My goal is to run a 5K by the end of the summer... I'll keep your journey in my mind as I keep training and losing weight!0
