I Did it

I wanted to let everyone know that I DID IT!!! I completed the Geist 5K yesterday in 43:08 finishing 1025 out of 1638 overall. I got the medal I was working so hard to get. I feel to be successful a person has to have a goal to work toward and I have accomplished that. I had set the goal of completing this 5K with the medal and reaching goal before my 56th birthday which will be on Wednesday.   I have succeeded in reaching 1/2 of that goal. This morning when I weighed I am 4/10 of a pound from my magic goal number, I virtually maintained this week head hunger and all. Oh so close. Oh well maybe next week. Just gives me another goal to work toward. I have also signed up for a half marathon in Fort Wayne on September 27 so that is only 4 months away to get ready to finish 13.1 miles. I have read that you need to be able to do an 18 min mile to complete this. I think I will be able to accomplish that. I have also signed up for next years mini. Now that I have accomplished one goal now it is time to start working on others.

Congratulations on accomplishing your goal!!! That is such an important thing that we sometimes forget~we all need goals and it is alright to make them small. That is how I do some of my goals. I start small and then I feel like I have accomplished one and that makes me more motivated.             

Congratulations Sue on your accomplishments.  Good for you that you have made goals and are actively working to attain them.  Way to Go!!! Peg

What an inspiration you are!   Congratulations!!

Congratulations!!!  That is an outstanding accomplishment!  I have the same goal to reach by October, and have my eyes set on one for then!  Congrats again on reaching that goal! You should definatly be very proud of yourself! We all are!

Congratulations on your accomplishment.  It makes a person feel so good when they obtain a goal.  I need to get my butt motivated and get out and do something like that.
