WOW moment-pic heavy

Just wanted to share that last night I RAN, yes RAN, all but about 10 steps, my first 5K!!!!!
When I signed up for the race, I set my goal at 43 minutes or less....well my official time was 29.48! HOLY ****!!!!!
What a great feeling...I can't even explain.  To think a year ago @ 300+lbs you couldnt have paid me to run 3 minutes let alone 3 miles!

Here's are a few shots of me after the race :)

just crossed the finish line:


waiting for my official time:


beyond excited that I finished in under 30:


here is a shoot of me from a rugby game last year (im in green)...what a difference in fitness levels:

I never carried a lot of weight in my arms...my stomach is my trouble spot.  But from the very begining I used the shake weight (yes some hate it) and I recently enrolled in "boot camp" which is strengh training.  I also lift free weights atleast once a week.
