The only thing about this photo that I'm proud of is that I don't look like that anymore. This was taken at my very first race ever, the Get in Gear 5K. I even had a t-shirt printed up for the occasion! Gary surprised me by telling me at the starting line that we weren't walking as a warm up to the race. We were running the entire 3.1 miles. I didn't think I could do it. I hadn't ever run that far before! As he always does, Gary stuck with me for the whole 5K, we ran the whole time, and I had tears (big surprise) as I crossed the finish line. I had accomplished something that I didn't think I could do. Fat people don't run. And they don't run without stopping for 3.1 miles.
Why am I telling you this? Well, I want you to join us this year at the Get in Gear race. It's on April 30th. You can run a 5K, 10K, or a half marathon. And the best part is that if you register by January 30th, the price is still really low! So go and register right this very minute. http://www.getingear10k.com/
There are a ton of people so there is absolutely no chance you'll be last. There's a great shuttle from the parking lot. There are goodies to be had after the race. It's a picturesque course. What's stopping you? We'll see you there!
