My First 5k!

Us crossing the finish line!

Last night at 10pm I ran my first 5k! I went with a few girls from my neighborhood. I love my friends here! They are active and do things together a lot. The 5k was a fund raiser for a girl who died in 2008 in a car accident. She was very active, so they decided to celebrate her birthday every year with a 5k fundraiser for a scholarship fund. It wasn't really a competitive race. There were children running and I don't think there was a prize for placing. I made it in 35 minutes!

I have been going to the gym with my neighbor, Marika Benedict, since I moved here. She has inspired me and helped motivate me to get into shape. I feel so much better about myself and I love working out! I do a spin class twice a week that I totally love!! And she has gone with me a few times to show me how to work out and get results. I really appreciate her help. People would pay to have her train them the way she helps me! Now I just need to stop snacking on unhealthy food, lol!
