I have always wanted to run in a race a 5k to be exact, I have always admired people that did, they inspired me to, but honestly in my mind I was lazy and thought that it was a lot of work and I really wasent wanting to do anything about it to make it to a run. Last November I think I became ready I decided I was going to really work on losing weight and getting into shape, I started out doing Zumba and loving it but after a while I got bored, so I started going to the gym and did a lot of differnt stuff there, I even went to some Aerobic classes and weight class's to change it up abit, as soon as it got warm I started to slowly start to run, but by all mean I started out like a few houses running and had to walk for a while, it was so hard to run but I loved to run and wanted to go further, I kept at it and it got better it has taken a long time and a lot of work to get were I felt I could run a 5k, I registered in April knowing I had a few months and that would help me stay motivated, In May I started at Cross fit and quit going to the gym, I started that a few times a week and would fit running in there some way, I did wish I had ran more than I had before the 5k but I was fine, I had ran 3 miles before so I had a feel to it before that actual race. I will admit, I have sweat a lot and ran my butt off and did exercise's that I have never done, and pushed my body further than I have ever done and I made it!! I did it, I made my goal and came across that finish line. Kristine asked me if I got emotional and for a sec I thought "oh I'm not the only one" but really I did when I stood at the start I was excited, nervous, I was actually making my dream come true, and I could see the guy waving the flag and got me so excited and to run pass all the people watching made me proud I was actually in the race. And when the finish line came up I was so excited I made it and the best part Chris and the girls and my family were chearing me on. Thanks Kristine and Lance for helping me.
