Ran my first race ever today, the Bristol 10k in 1hr 4 mins. This is such an achievement for me as last June I couldn't even run 1 minute. I started my journey last June 2011 and in that time I have lost 52lbs and become so much fitter. It has changed my life. I am still not to my goal weight but I feel I am almost there. However,it has become about more than just losing the weight. My diet has changed , I feel so much fitter and really enjoy being active now. I have ambitions to become even fitter and would like to run a half marathon next year. Feel elated

I started with Couch to 5K. If you haven't heard of it it's a great app that trains you ( slowly and surely) to run 5k. Thanks so much.0

Congrats on completing your first race!!!! It is a huge accomplishment. I started running 2 years ago at age of 41. Never ran before in my life. I did the couch to 5k and think it is the best program. I am now shooting to do the Gasparilla 15k (again) and then a half marathon fall of 2013.
Keep up the great work!!!0 -
