I finished my first 5K!!!!!
I am so happy and on cloud nine. I finished my first 5K that included a walk through our zoo. It took me an hour and eleven minutes. But, I still finished it. I never thought that I would be able to do it. But, I did it!!!! I did it!!! I am screaming from the rooftops that my pain was worth it all today. I crossed that finish line.
I want anyone reading this to know that sometimes the biggest win is not coming in first or 300th or 1000th. It's about being able to endure and push on through it because stepping over that finish line is all worth it.

Thanks naturgirl65. I appreciate it. I\'m sore but I\'m still all smiles. LOL I keep thinking about crossing that finish line and making it across. It feels really good to set a goal and be able to achieve it. I discovered that if I stop moving I get superstiff right now. LOL so believe it or not had to go to the gym to work it out a little. Still if I could do a sommersault I would. :-) High Five right back at you!!
