First 5k!

May 22, 2010

Yesterday I ran the 5k in Fargo.  I did pretty well, ran most of it.  Didn't do as well as I was hoping.  I did it in 39:17. I was hoping for 33-35 so I was a little slower, but I had a great time.  Running with all the other WLS people was great.  I think they said there was about 50 of us that were participating in the 5k so that was really great to see.  I know there are more 5k in my area this year and plan to do some more and get to my goal time. 

I would have never thought about doing this even 4 months ago. To have lost 77 total pounds since middle of February is absolutely amazing. To run 95% of a 5k only two and a half months after surgery is beyond what I had hoped for.  Now to get to my goal time of finishing in 33 minutes and I will be elated.
