I Did It!
Jun 11, 2011
I RAN my first 5K! It was awesome! I cannot believe I actually ran the entire race! my official time was 59:52. I'll take it! I am very proud! A year ago, I never would have conceived of achieving such a feat! I can now consider myself a runner!I had the privilege of running the Susan B. Koman Race for the Cure. Not only did I achieve a milestone in my life, my dedication is helping find a cure for breast cancer.
If you get inspired, I did the Couch to 5K program. I began training March 1, never having run a step in my life. Don't get discouraged! Your body will respond!
A word of advise, spend the time and money to get your shoes sized at a proper sports store. I had no idea there was so much involved... It took me an hour and a half to get my shoes; and the sales associate was only serving me!
I am so incredibly proud of myself! It's a great feeling and I encourage everyone to find that thing that they can work toward!
In the meantime, drink your water, take your supplements, eat sufficient protein and plug into a support group! Then you will be able to soar with the eagles the rest of your fantastic life!
Oh... and I posted some pics in my First Year Post-Op folder... more to come!
