giveyouthemoon 4 Posted January 29, 2006 Today....I did a 5k with my friend. Yes, I walked it. Yes, my time was 52.10 which means I was walking a slow turtle-like 17 min mile...but I did it. I finished it. It was a BEAUTIFUL walk through San Francisco and I found it to be easy, actually. Six months ago and 75 lbs ago I could NEVER have done this. I physically could NOT have done a 5k. This morning I did it with relative ease. And that my friends is an NSV!!! Yay me!!!!!! Yay Katrinka (my band)!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giveyouthemoon 4 Posted January 30, 2006 Thanks everyone for sharing in my excitement!! Pavarthi, you are right, it WAS the most amazing feeling! Crossing the finish line was just a goose bump raising experience for me! I was getting philosophical as I walked, and I took stock of how far I've come. How much work it's taken. I am so focused on how far I have left to go, how I've stalled out and I'm grumpy about it. All of that, forward looking and feeling low. It was necessary to take stock of how far I've come on this journey. Walking along I felt light...and free in a lot of ways. It was a nice realization for me! live2canoe - a 10k.....you know once upon a time I would consider that a complete impossibilty but you know what? I could probably do it. The 5k was a breeze to walk. I probably could do a 10k. WOW. When have *I* ever said something like that???? and bensmum!! Bay to Breakers eh? Hmmm.....lol.....you might just be on to something!!!!! Thanks to my LBT family for sharing in my excitement. I'm still walking ten feet off the ground. (one of the best celebrations of this accomplishment was to hear the new guy I'm dating (an NSV in itself) tell me how proud he was of me. Wow. Yesterday was an all around very good day!!!)
