Inspiration
So there are many out there who are saying "I'll do my first 5K when I hit x pounds because I'm to heavy". "Or I don't want people staring at me because I don't belong".
The truth is unless you are physically unable for some reason or other your size doesn't prevent you from doing anything.
Here is a link to something about a friend of mine in Real Life. She does amazing things and doesn't let peoples opinions sway her from doing what many people are afraid to attempt.

Her attitude actually puts me to shame!

Loved this, thanks so much for sharing it.
I've been doing some 5k's the last couple years and I'm always telling myself that I'm too old, still too big, people will think I'm trying to be something I'm not...well I think it's time I let go of those thoughts!!
What an amazing woman she is for sure!! Great story!

My only goal for a 5K was to BE ABLE to do one. I have signed up for one that is October 6th and have been training for about a month now. I do admit now that I really didnt have to wait almost 6 months after surgery to start training, that was really unnecessary... I just never thought about it till now.. lol I should have started much sooner.
