Drive by... I DID IT!!! I ran my first 5k, not 100 percent sure about the time, but somewhere like 30-35 minutes. I cried like a baby crossing the finish line and couldn't stop running, just kept going like Forest Gump...LOL Oh yeah, the date on my camera was not set!

Podrunner ROCKS!!! Good luck to all of you!

Lap~You have been in my thoughts lately and I am glad that you stopped in to let us know how you are doing. Your family has gone through a lot. Remain strong, you are always in my prayers. I believe in your strength and your wisdom. Give the baby hugs and kisses from us.

5k's for practice, I love it! WTG! I am writing down the "Dont's", that should be on a t-shirt. Actually your entire post should be a t-shirt or poster! Thanks for the boost, I am pretty nervous about this weekend but excited too, I have been doing the Couch to 5k for four months. Thanks again and congratulations on your amazing progress!

Congratualtions and Welcome to your new life!

awww, yeah, you never know, lets hope they aren't backed up too much.

Congratulations on your return to the gym! WTG

WOW! Thanks for sharing. Congratulations what a great accomplishment. I will be running my very first 5k this weekend.

Congratulations! and Welcome!

What time is your fill? I am at 3:30

Thanks. I actually did the graduation run lastnight, didn't do so great, but I will try again Wednesday and Friday and then do my best on Sunday to complete my first 5K! Good luck to all of you with your training! Happy Running!:thumbdown:

Marcy~I dunno where our Woofay is...probably busy with school, I miss her too! She is one of my heros! Dee~I guess I better be ready for our 5k this weekend! I try to run every other day and yesterday was my running day...I did terrible and ended up walking more than running. I've got Wednesday and then Friday before the big day. Oh, yes and my fill on Thursday. I haven't lost pounds in months, inches, yes, but you know how we all like to see those numbers on the scale to move!!! How many inches can one lose without the scale moving??? So sad! I suppose next week I will give BFL a shot...How is your BFL going? What is the most challenging for you? I think the early morning workouts will be a challenge, and the daily workouts. I wish I had a home gym... Munchkin~I love you!! I have a question. What are your thoughts about www.drinkables.com I have a hard time getting my fruits and veggies in and I thought I would give this a try. I bought the Fruits and Vegetables supplement. The Miracle Teas of the World tasted gross, and I didn't need the Miracle Fruits of the World because I already take pure Acai. I was curious about any thoughts about this product???

oooh noooo Munckin, that is soo wrong of your mom! I grew up in a military family and married an Army guy and I KNOW you just can't do that. Shame on your mom, she needs to let your sister be the responsible adult that she is and let her live her own life. I feel terrible for your sister.

I am on week 9 of this program and let me tell you, it is WONDERFUL! I am running my first 5k on Oct 5th! Good luck to all of you.

Happy Friday Banditos! ~30 days of night...scared the poo out of me! My son has a friend that looks like Josh Hartnet (sp), we invited him over to watch the movie...too funny, I call his friend Josh now. ~ could not vote on a dress, I liked them both, sorry. You will look amazingly hot in any dress you choose. I love, love, love a man in a uniform! I hope you post some pictures of the Ball Cinderella...ella...ella...(sorry couldn't help it). ~How is Tucker? Buster would like his address so he could send some treats! You can Pm it to me if you want. ~Brandy, how are you and the hubby doing? ~BFL gals, how is week two going? I read a little bit about it every day and let me tell you, you gals ROCK! COMMITTED FOSHO! This will be a tough one, but I really want to to start it after my 5k. I will be switching gyms and starting BFL AND I will have a new fill, I know this will move me in the right direction. WTG GALS! ~I watched a video clip of coloradocrazy on her blog ~Lap, if your lurking, I want you to know that I think about you often, hope all is well. ~It's that time of year again....teen sleep over! Remember last year when all the boys tried to pierce a body part?! I am hoping a year older and they will be mellow??? RIGHT! 10, 14 year olds...send prayers gals, give me strength to make it through the weekend. ~Adork, the pictures are wonderful! You look mahvelous! gotta run!

Hey Dee~well, if you do the first race, it starts at 7:00, it can be pretty chilly, I would wear layers. The 8:30 co-ed Run/walk, the weather should be nice enough, I think I will wear shorts, a long sleeve under my t-shirt. I am so proud of you for doing the race this year! Oh, yeah, don't forget to wear PINK, PINK, and more PINK...remember my pink sparkly sunglasses??? I wear them every year and I always wear a Hawaiian flag for my mom and pictures of my mom too. I hope to see you down there!

Hey Mini~My 5k is Sunday October 5th...time is closing on on me!

Deb~So sorry I missed you! Just as I thought, I ended up working late. I was thinking about you gals and you all look terrific, thanks for posting the picture. Hey Munchkin, sorry to hear about the fence, I just can't believe how far they are willing to take this over four inches! Sooo weird! Life and Dee~I finally got the book. I am thinking of starting after my 5k. The book is a real kick in the a**, like a wake up call. Wouldn't it be awesome to have him as your personal trainer? I would love that!

Thanks Shelbi! I am sure that I saw some ants crawling faster than my run, but I didn't stop! Heck I think I was running inplace for a minute...THAT'S how slow I run!!! Anywhoo 35 minutes done!:thumbup:

fahgeht ahbaht multi quoting, I tried...

That sucks! I have been there before, what a waste of time for everyone involved

SHELBI~*sing along* Happy Bandiversary to you, happy Bandiversary to you, you look like a thin person and you feel like one too!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! WTG on your accomplishments, you have been a great source of support for me over the last year, Thank you and keep posting my friend. Munchkin~The Tat is INTENSE!!! I love it! Hey, maybe your neighbor is being an ass becasue they don't recognize you??? They are probably thinking, hey, who is that skinny chick and what happened to Munchkin...your before pic and now pic is...what??...INCREDIBLE!! WOW, good job. Your ticker should be at the red panties FOSHO! Denver~Happy to hear that your arm is okay. How is the band treating you? Life~thanks for offering your book to me, I tried to go lastnight to get it, but my son had a track meet and by the time it was over and I got home to cook dinner, it was late BUt I did get my run in and I made it the ENTIRE 35 minutes!!! It was weird running at night, I had to dodge the sprinkler systems but I did it FINALLY. I have no room for error, my 5K is in TWO weeks...YIKES! Anyway, I have the book on my list and I will hit Barnes and Noble this weekend. Thanks again, this program sounds VERY, VERY intense and I hope I can handle it (nervous). You are tough as nails, I think you would make a perfect personal trainer!

WHEW! All caught up on the posts!...I think! I went to the Library again last night looking for the BFL book, still out. I think I will just buy it tonight or at least take a good look at it. I want to join in, but I might be a bit behind...I'll let ya know. Sounds like you three are doing a great job with it! Keep it up! I am impressed!! My 5K is comin up and I am still struggling to run longer than 20-25 minutes....ugghhh and my weight *pishh*, I must have my hubby hide the scale! It is driving me bananas!! Denver~How did your appointment go? Thanks for the tips about the poster on the ceiling. I got him a poster full of positive affirmations and he had them hand it on the cieling and now he can read them and hopefully stay positive. I asked him what he wanted me to bring him and he said "candy", he and my son think that they will fatten him up by eating bags and bags of candy. So my son feeds him PB cups, Snickers, and Milky Way's. Brandy~You and your family are in my prayers. You will make it through this, us mom's know how to multi-multi task AND take care of EVERYTHING, God made us this way. I believe in you! Deb~How's Tucker? Buster wants to send some treats to him, so when you come, I will have to get them to you. We are so proud of his strength. Buster has a "voice" too, my husband does it. He talks slow and dopey and always says "I dunno" and if you ask a question more than once he says "I said I f***ing dunno now leave me alone". When ever we go on vacation and Buster is not around I will hear him say "where am I". Our cat has a voice too, but I always interupt him and tell him to be quiet. Can you tell I love Buster MORE!!!...LOL Hotmama~You daughter looks stunning! The dress is beautiful too. Oh, yeah...I FINALLY have an appointment for another fill!!! OMG, I hope this one gives me something!!! Take care Banditos!

This peanut agrees with mom. Five Years?! YIKES! My mom was told that she had inflamation and not to worry, her doctor wouldn't even give her time off of work (she was having terrible pain when she moved or lifted her arm) she pressed the issue as well and they found a malignant tumor.

I am at 10.3 and gong back for another fill 10-2-08. It has been a long slow journey for me so far.
