(and by running i mean walking which eventually turned to jogging which eventually became slow running)
i also made a goal (here on the blog) to keep running and complete a 5k.
so excited to say that i did it!
on thanksgiving morning, i woke up bright and early to run in the "turkey trot" with my family, weston's family, sami and jeffrey. i'm so glad i was able to recruit people to join me because it made waking up so early and heading over there a lot easier.
everyone did great! of course weston, mr. half-marathon runner, smoked all of us (and then came back to run the final stretch again with me and sami haha) but everyone in our group was at a different fitness level, which made it really fun and no-pressure.
the important thing is that we finished!
or even that we started!
go us! :)
dangit, raptor hands. hahaha.
and that's what i need to focus on. i'm so thankful for that!
yay, turkey trotters!
gobble gobble!
next goal... 10k?
haaaaaaa..... ;)
Well, congratulations!
ReplyDeletei keep telling myself i'm going to be a runner but it never seems to happen. thank you for being an inspiration! maybe this new years running goal can be one that i accomplish.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!! What a great accomplishment. I've done a couple of 5k's, but never ran one fully. I want to, but running is so hard to stick to. Any tips?!

Yay! I remember when I would get winded just doing a lap around the track. Completing a 5k cen be such a good feeling. I have to try a 10k though. Maybe I should make it a new years resolution.
