Today I did something I would have never thought about a year ago...I did our local 5K Turkey Trott and finished it in 38.31 minutes! I did walk for about a minute of it, but otherwise, ran the whole thing! My heart is swollan with pride for doing what I thought was impossable for me to do!!! I would have never kept going on this journey with out the MFP community and all of my friends and family!
