I can't believe I did it!!

I just participated in the Friehofer's Community walk in Albany NY this morning! It was a 3 1/2 mile walk to benefit local charities, and I did it as a requirement for a course I am talking(PE credit) and when we were told in class we had to participate I was terrified. I have not been very faithful to any kind of exercise routine ever in my life, and since surgery have only been able to do no more than 1 mile at a time. It was pouring rain the entire time, but I just kept on going, and completed the 3 1/2 miles in just under 1 hour!! I never felt so proud of myself, and the best part, I wasn't even the slightest bit winded at the end! I am thinking next year I just might go for the Friehofer's Run For Women, which is held right after the walk. I just had to share with you all, despite the fact that I am tired and soaking wet right now I am feeling very good about my accomplishment! Karyn

That is fantastic What an accomplishment!!!! Dana

Thanks so much Dana! I feel so good that I was able to complete the walk! Karyn

That's awesome Karyn!!! Congratualtions!!! Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico

Thanks Alejandro! I feel like now that I have accomplished this I can really start committing more to walking! Karyn

Karyn you are my idol Good for you! That is just fantastic

aww, thanks Ronna! You are such a sweetie! Karyn

Karyn, I know just how you feel about committing to something...I myself havent been able to do that either. I have been walking a ton at work though and that has been great for me since I havent even gotten tired yet!! COngrats on finishing!! I know how proud you must be today Steph

Thanks Steph! And good for you that you are walking at work, that is definitely something you have committed to! I think this challenge Dawn is doing will motivate me to walk at least every other day, if not every day! Karyn

That is so cool! I can't wait to participate in those things! I am working on becoming a runner. It is hard but I think I will like it! Keep up the great work!
