THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING!

Just want to brag a bit today.  Yesterday I did my first 5k race!  Who'd a thunk it?   A year ago I could barely walk around the block and weighed almost 300 pounds!  Today I am down 115 pounds and ran a 5k in 44.28 minutes.  It was extra special because I ran it with my daughter and grandson....woohoo, a 3 generation 5k!
I came in 154th....but I still beat 57 other people!  Next time I need to pick a flatter course!



Mom and daughter Jen
 
Me and grandson Jack, age 10....this little guy finished in 25.38 minutes....he rocks!

 



This is what running a 5k at age 59 looks like.....sweaty!......very sweaty!
 
Jillian  doing the Fun Run in less than 2 minutes....you go girl!
 
 
Me, Jen, Jack, Jim

    Wow, I'm so impressed with all of you. Margi you look fabulous, even sweaty after running, you still look fab! What a great family event! I expect there a several scrapbook pages that need to be made to commemorate the first of more events like this to come. Congrats on everything!
