Go me, go me! Empowering!

So, 5 months ago I started the Couch to 5K program... I could barely run 90 seconds without feeling like I was going to drop dead.

Well, today, Mamas, I ran my very first 5K road race! My time was just over 32 minutes; not too shabby! It felt SO GOOD to do something SO GOOD for myself. My parents were watching the kids and, honestly, I didn't think about them once during my run...



Sounds awful, I know, but it was such a beautiful course and it was so nice outside (around 45 degrees - perfect for running).

Anyway, it was so empowering; I feel like I'm amazing woman again!!!

Yay! Sounds like so much fun. Go You!

You are my hero! Seriously that is awesome! I have been working out the past 5 months but haven't tried running yet. I hope to be able to do a 5K, that is just sooo cool! Congrats Mama!

Well done! Ive been thinking about trying the Couch to 5k - you've inspired me!

That's awesome! One of the first things on my list of things to get when STBX moves out is a treadmill so that I can start the C25K program. I'd like to get healthier for my boys.

That is amazing! I've been getting into shape in the last year, too, and I feel like I have a part of myself back! Congratulations!
