Just needed to brag a bit! So I ran my first 5k, I ran the whole way and finished with a time of 35.26! Although I have run the distance before, this just seemed so much more overwhelming and I crossed the finish line crying like a baby, I just can't even believe how far I have come.

Before the race with my own personal cheering section -

After - needing a bottle of water and an orange slice LOL -

I have never been happier in my life, it's a challenge every day, but I love who I have become as a person and as an athlete. My sleeve rocks!

Awesome!

I may have had a few extra potholes along the way, but the journey has been good!

I really did have the cutest cheering section in the place, I could hear them yelling "GO MOMMY" as I came into the stadium to cross the finish line, made me move just a little faster!
