5k mud run; what a difference from last year
So last year I was on the sidelines rooting on my husband who is an amazing athlete. Fast forward to this year and I am down 114 pounds and this is my fourth 5K! This was had obstacles and a lot of mud. I have about 10 bruises on each knee now and 4 bruises on my elbows! It was tough but I am proud of myself. I was not able to do the monkey bars and it did disappoint me because I am very competitive. But after a lot of reflecting from last year I have done amazing. I think it took about 55 minutes but there was a lot of obstacles. My 5K without obstacles is 31.20.
After the race I cried a lot from thinking about how far I have come. I don't understand how I let myself gain so much weight in the first place but I won't let it happen again. I am 7.5 months post op and down 83 from surgery. I am living the life I wanted to all along. I am a better mother and wife. I am happier and just enjoying everything life has to offer. I am a solid 12, down from a 24. In shirts I am a small/medium when I was a 2x or 22. I love my sleeve!
