Los Angeles 5K Marathon

[Penni60 45]

Once again this year I walked in the 5K Los Angeles Marathon. IT was awesome again just like last year. That is just over 3 miles people. I think it is a HUGE accomplishment for me since I have not done any real heavy walking since before my Band removal in Dec 05. I was dying by the time I crossed the finish line at just under 60 min. Last year I did it in about 57 min so I am pleased that I still managed to come in under an hour. I swear next year I wanna run it. I do I do. LOL!!

Anyway, just had to share. We had friends in from Nashville who walked it with us and she took some pics so as soon as I get some from her I will post them.

Loads of fun today. Now I am so sore. LOL!!

The scary thing is I could have eaten a horse when we got done walking. Oh by the way the 5K was 3.1 miles but we walked a total of 3.5 by the time we walked to and from the car. LOL!!!

We took our friends to one of our favorite Brunch Restaurants. It is called Odyssey. And the brunch makes it feel that way. There was sushi, roast beef, ham, Pasta, chicken, omelet station, belgian waffles, all manor of pastries and Desserts, crab, shrimp, salmon, cheeses, fruits, mexican station with enchiladas and menudo and taco fixins, and MIMOSA'S. YUM YUM!!!

I had lots of Protein and only half a dessert which I shared with John. Two MIMOSA's and lots of coffee and Water. It was just a deeeeevine day.
