Im doing a 5k run!!

Hey everybody! I cant believe I am going to do this! I am going to run a 5k on November 3rd! It has been a major goal since before my surgery in April. I actually just got done running 3 miles around my neighborhood! It took me a dang HOUR! At least I am doing it though. I am so scared becasue I dont want people to think I am stupid or anything being last place. It makes me feel good that I did run the 3 miles in my neighborhood though because I am proud of myself that I actually acomplished this. Man I used to couldnt even walk half a mile. Now I can jog 3! Im so excited but terrified too!

AWESOME!!!

congrats... what a great accomplishment

Yay!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! That is my long term goal, as well. My brother has agreed to run a 5K with me. Don't worry about feeling bad. It's not a contest. If you participate, you've won the victory!!!!

 Teakster is right, just finishing is the victory.  You go, girl!  Enjoy.  KAREN

I've done 3- 5K's and a 7K- and another one next Sunday. And registered for a half marathon at the end of the month. This is all since April. Never ran before last winter. Isn't it awesome??
