5k

I finished!! Yes me...chubby butt who never finishs anything....finished the 5k!

Heres the run down. I was running with my sis in law and our group from weight watchers. It was amazing. I was nervous but also really excited. I was able to bust out the first little bit (I have no idea the distances, sorry) but then I couldn't push myself any longer. I gave in a walked. I told them to go ahead. I wanted to quit soo bad. I kept thinking I just can't do this. Why did I ever agree to do this? How did I ever think that I COULD do this? I guess I had a moment where I still thought I was skinnier and in shape? I dunno.
Anyway. I had a whole plethra of emotions run through me at that point. I wanted to cry, I wanted to give up. I felt like my world was crashing around me. I knew I couldn't finish it. But then I got a little push. Seriously...I've never had that happen before and I won't go into detail, but I got pushed along and for just a split second I knew I could finish.
The doubt seeped in over and over. There were several times I wanted to quit. Several times I told myself I was going to give up and turn around. I couldn't do it. But then those thoughts would turn around and I would think yes I can do it and I will. I can finish this.
Once I hit the half way point I knew it. I knew I was closer to finishing that turning around so I kept on it and that last half went by Soooo much faster than the first point and I was able to finish strong alternating between walking and jogging. It was awesome. And it showed me I could finish. Will I be running another one any time soon? Umm no. Not until I'm better prepared. But I am soo happy I walk/jogged this one and got it done. It taught me alot about myself.
Now that I'm done...the soreness and major headache I've had since about halfway through is killing me but I'm hoping that goes away soon and I'll be good to go. Its totally against my points but I'm gonna be eating a pizza in celebration tonight. I've also been chuggin water like a mad man and am not looking forward to the after affects of having to pee every 10 minutes but if it helps me feel better...then I'm gettin it done. Until then...I work....but that pizza is calling my name.
Pictures were taken so I will post those when I get them later on.

And in other news.......I lost 3.8 lbs at weigh in!!! :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
