My nephew (that has lived with us for 6 yrs) is a cross country runner and one of my goals for a long time has been to run a 5k with him. I have yet to do it. I keep starting the C25K but then end up stopping because of knee pain. I’m hoping as a few more lbs come off maybe I will be able to do this with him. Anyway, loved your story and way to go on doing the 5k.

Congrats Diane! I find the feeling of crossing the finish line at a race might become addictive for me! But, I figure there are way worse things I could be addicted to…. potato chips, for example!! LOL. Good Job on your race, and that’s a great time for a hilly course!

Hi Diane, congratulations on your race – that is an excellent time, especially with hills! Signing up for races is how I kept myself motivated to run in the beginning. I will never forget how I felt the first time I crossed a finish line – amazed that I did it, and so proud. And yes, I have been in one of those races where everyone is practically a professional runner, and I nearly came in last, which was a bit unnerving. But I always run just for myself, and try to do my best on the day. I think my next race will be on Halloween with my mom and sister in Dallas – can’t wait!

Great job, Diane!

I have only done one 5k. When I trained for my second one, I was way to competitive and didn’t listen to my body and my weak ankle that I have injured many times over the years. I ended up doing some real damage. So I haven’t even thought about another race since. But I think it may be about time…

Also, I love your reminder that thin does not equal fit…

@Carla – Thanks so much! I hope you will do one, because in spite of all my complaining, it was a lot of fun!

@Lance – I’m glad you like to run a few a year too. It helps keep me on the training regime, and not get complacent about my fitness training. Good luck to you too!

@Cammy – The training does seem to get in the way sometimes. You can do it whenever you set your mind to it!

Congratulations! I really do want to run a 5k. It’s the training I seem to be having problems with.

Awesome job Diane! I think this is great! I try to run at least a couple each year – and really just love the race environment. So fun to be at – whether there’s 40 people or 2000 people. Getting out there and moving! So good! And good luck on the next one you have coming up!!! Rock on!!
