Truly went from couch to 5k in the last 5 months! April could barely go 1/4 mile at 4.5mph. Today I finished my fist official 5k in 27:55!
If I can figure out how I'll post a picture of me in my 'race' gear and one from a time when the thought of running a 5k would have been the last thing on my mind (about 59 lbs ago!!!) :happy:
ok got it..here is me in Feb. Around 245lb:
here is me today. 186 (and still counting down! :happy: )
