Victory!
I guess this counts as an NSV, but either way, it feels great! I just did my first ever 5k! I planned on walking. I told my race buddy I was walking. I didn't want to run, even a step.
But I actually ran some of it! It wasn't much, but I still did it! We did the whole thing, up and down hills, a couple pit stops (you know, to roll in colored corn starch!) and we still finished in just under 47 minutes!
I feel awesome right now!

GOOD FOR YOU!!
I run a 5K either 3 or 4 days a week, depending on the week, and run my first competitive race on Thanksgiving day. I am SO EXCITED for you to have finished your first competitive race!! YAY!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Congratulations, what an accomplishment!

Thanks everyone!
Here's what happened when I was done! I'll definitely sign up for another one of these soon! Even though it rained, it was still great. Now if I could get the purple and green off of me...
