I did it!
I ran/walked my first 5K today! It was the Mercedes Marathon in downtown Birmingham. It benefited Childrens Hospital Kids one transport, so I thought why not? Unlike most people, I didn't train for this. I wanted to do a 5k first to see if I liked it, then train and really "run" one later. I had a blast and I am so glad my friend Michelle ran with me. We finished just under 50 minutes. Dont laugh, we are gonna beat that time in the next race!

If that old "you look familiar to me" guy can make it in just under 40 minutes, we can too!!! Looking forward to the next time . . .
Way to go girls!!!
Kudos! I'm warning you, running is one of those things that hooks you once you start. I went from being a fat little elementary school kid who could barely finish a mile to running six miles a day when I was at UNA - and loving it. Then I had kids, quit running and got fat again. I MISS it! I can't wait to get started back after I have this baby; walking just doesn't cut it. And I'd like to go from being a big fat mama to being a "hot mama!" We can always dream...
