I Ran My First 5k! And this week I’m a “Thriller” zombie!

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to run a 5k and I did it yesterday!  That’s just little over 3 miles.   My time was 30 minutes and 44 seconds! 

And this Saturday in Austin, Texas I’ll be participating in trying to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Simultaneous Dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.   I want to say it will be Austin and 83 countries all over the world  who will dance the “Thriller” dance at the same time.   And, you can dress like a Zombie, which is what I plan on doing!  :)   I’ve already started to learn the dance through their website videos and let me tell you, it is a workout!  lol   Here’s the website in case anyone was curious.  http://www.thrilltheworldaustin.com/

 The scale is also being kind to me today.  My hope is I’ll be in the 150’s again by this next weekend coming up.  Oh how good I’ll feel if that happens.  :)

Have a good day Buddies!

    Congrats on finishing your first 5k, there’s such a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when you cross your first finish line. I always get emotional when I think back on October 22, 2000—that was the year I crossed the finish line of my first marathon in my favorite city of all places, Chicago. I’ve completed 5 marathons and 2 half-marathons since, but NOTHING compares to that first one!! Congrats!!
    Good luck on the Largest Simultaneous Dance!! Sounds like so much fun!!

    That must have been a huge moment for you!. That is very inspiring to me since I want to do a mountain bike race (20 miles) in a couple of years. just got into the biking and really love it> I dont want to win but just having the pinny framed and to know that I did it after being 385 lbs will be a total rush.

    I am very happy for you. I know I can do it because you did it! :)

    Oh my gosh, congrats WW! I’m working towards running my first 5k too. But for now, I guess I’d have to make do with half of that distance. Anyways, you’ve no idea how proud I am for you! =D
