Lost 50+ pounds and running 5Ks - PIC enclosed

thomaslh83 · October 2011

Hello everyone,

Last month, I ran my very first 5k race. Never in my life have I ever thought I would have done one of these. Eight months ago, I could barely keep a steady jogging pace. I love running now and it's something that I look forward to every chance I get. I'm not the best at it, but I sure do love it! Here's a photo from my very first race crossing the finish line. I about barfed everywhere at the end, but it was a great feeling to know that I completed a race.

Have a great day!

congrats.. I cannot wait until I get to the point to walk the Komen walk again (60 miles) and actually finish... only made it about 26 miles before hurting myself last time...big milestones like this make all the hard work worth it
