I ran the 10k in the Fargo Marathon, an I made both of my goals of running the entire thing and finishing in around an hour! I ran it in 59min 22sec! It was such a neat experience and doing it with thousands of other runners was so fun...and crazy!
It is so neat to see such a transformation in myself too!

To think that last year I was around 250 lbs and couldn't even run half a mile and today I am 170 lbs and just ran a 6.2 miles in just under an hour!

Now I need a new goal!
Maybe boxing...

    Yay! I just did my first 10k, too, on Sunday. In just OVER an hour, though. :) 60:57. But it was great fun and gives such a feeling of accomplishment. Can't wait to do it again.
