I DID IT!!!!!

May 19, 2012

Today, at 227 pounds, I did my first 5K Marathon!!!

I didn't think I was going to make it because I got off my second job at 3AM, woke up at 6AM, fell back asleep, woke up at 7AM and had exactly ONE HOUR to get to the starting line.

I was not going to miss the race, no matter how late I was - I was running!

So, I get arrived at the starting line fifteen minutes into the race - ALLL BY MYSELF!!!  Everyone, and I mean everyone, was already out there walking/running. I didn't even put on my number because I was so embarassed about being late. However, everyone was great. They welcomed me and cheered me on and I became encouraged.

So, about a mile into the race I start to catch up with everyone - YEAH ME!!! Finally, I was no longer the last one and at 45 minutes - I FINISHED my first 5K MARATHON EVER IN LIFE!!! I was still given a medal and I won one of the drawings from a raffle. I had sooooo much fun that after the race I still had energy to burn so I climbed Stone Mountain today too!
