I Did It!

Mar 14, 2009

Hello All,

I pray that all who read my blog are doing well and living life to its fullest.  On March 6th, 2009 I completed my first 5k race in Uptown Charlotte.  It was a total of 3.1 miles that I had to complete.  I walked and did a slow jog with one of my co-workers and I completed it in 53 minutesand 34 seconds.  I was so excited and happy for myself.  I couldn't believe that I had completed that many miles in less than an hour.  It was a wonderful way for me to culminate my first year after surgery. 

I just want to encourage those who think that they can't  complete a 5k race, yes you can.  It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.  Now believe me when I say that I was hurting for the next 3 days, but it was well worth it to me.

I would love to be able run a 5k one day, but I really don't like running like that.  I don't mind the slow jog throughout the race, but I don't think me and full stride running will get along.  HA!  But who knows what I will be doing in the next year.
 

Well this is all for now, you all be blessed and stay encouraged!
