My first 5K - The Happiest 5K on the Planet

Last summer I decided I wanted to stop being afraid of running. I went from not being able to make it a block, to running 2+ miles over the three month span that Wisconsin weather allows me to enjoy the outdoors. This summer I signed up for The Color Run... I made it the entire way.
When I got done, all I could think was, Wow... I can do anything.
I started at 162lbs last summer.

I am now 135lbs. I am happier, healthier and overall much more motivated to help others and do good things.



P.S. if you're not a runner, but would like to do a 5K and either walk/run, The Color Run is a blast!!!

That's awesome! Looks like a lot of fun! I recently did my first 5k, and like you, last summer I literally couldn't run a block. It's crazy what we can accomplish with the right motivation!0

At last years color run I told myself to try to actually run it this year. Well, this years came along and since I just had a baby I didn't have time to train to run. I can only run about a half mile straight right now
Oh well! Promising myself for sure I will run, not just walk, next year! Your post is pretty inspirational!
Congrats!
