Finished my first 5K!!

[Creekwood 702]

This morning I walked/jogged my first 5K!! It was even more awesome than I expected it to be. I've never really been a runner. Never in a million years did I think that I would voluntarily run/walk a 5k.

But, today I for my butt out there and did it!! The feeling of running through the finish line and seeing my wife and son cheering me on was AWESOME!! I have already signed up for another one!!

Haha after my 5k we went for a meet and greet with BP! My son told him "you're an awesome baseball player and the Cardinals stink!" BP thought that was pretty funny

Brandon is a good player...VERY good.....no question. He's just not real popular here in the Lou as you are aware.

Yeah I went to the first game after the fight in St Louis. My buddy in the AF is stationed nearby. We all wore " I agree with BP" shirts needless to see we weren't popular with Cards fans Lol. BP hit a HR and Reds won it was awesome! Some guy in a wheelchair rolled up to me and told me he was gonna kick my a**! Lol

It's the same with Molina here. Reds fans hate him, but IMO he's the best catcher in the game. He's a beast. With that being said I vote for Posey in all star voting because I can't vote for Cardinals players

Don't worry my son will never wear a Cubs or Cardinals shirt. If he does he will have to find a new place to live

This was inspiring. I have started this week training for a 2 mile run/walk ( i want to run the whole thing) in aug.. Also getting ready to sign up for a 5k for sept. I also have not been a runner before but this is one of those bucket lists thing i made when i got my Lapband. The only problem i really have that is bugging me alot and maybe someone out there with experience can give me a suggestion. Where i have lost 80+ lbs i have an apron that bugs me like crazy when i am jogging. I know a pretty gross vision but i need a way to make it so it isnt such a bother.

What about Spanx or spandex bike shorts to hold all in place?

Way to go on your training and motivation!
