5k! My new love!

[melhealthy 103]

So excited and proud of myself! I ran my first 5k today! My goal was to run it in 45 minutes! I beat my goal and did it in 42:05 minutes!! Feeling on top of the world! Amazing what you can do when you drop 75.5 pounds!

You are going to love it!!! You are at my goal weight! I'm 192.4 now and want to be 140-148! I can't imagine being that weight but I couldn't imagine being 192 either from 268 pounds!

[kristy3k 1,133]

I can 2.25 miles no problem... Really gonna push myself these next couple of months to hit that 3 plus mark!!

That's amazing! I wish I could say that! Lol! I am getting there just gotta keep pushing also! I was surprised at the time I was able to finish. I would love to get to a 12 minute mile. That's my ultimate goal to finish a 5k in 36 minutes so I gotta keep working at it.

How does it feel to be in the 140's? How tall are you and what size do you wear? I'm 5'5 and a size 16 now. Just curious what I'd wear at a 145 pounds. E

[kristy3k 1,133]

I am in size 8's in most things and size 6 in others. Med tops... It feels so good... Considering I started in a size 28 and 4x tops! I am 5'6 - 1/2

I will tell you that as you get closer to goal things start moving inches wise fast!!! I'm trying to maintain now so I don't look sickly

I am running in the jingle bell run. It is to support arthritis foundation. I have RA so it will mean so much to me to be able to run the race this year. With my blue hat on to symbolize I have arthritis.

I have been running a mile for several weeks and I am ready to add to it. I can do a mile in 10.6 right now.

It really depends on your body type. I am at 140 and can wear a size 2 in some pants. I can wear med and smalls in shirts.

Finished my 5th 5k. Best time of 34:50. I was trying for 33 but is was very hot. Came in 271 place out of 722. Running isn't my strong point but it is a challenge!
