I was debating whether or not to sign up for one, but I asked if my sister wanted to do one with me and she and my brother in law both were interested, so I decided to go for it. I'm excited! I have been running more lately and I already pretty much do 5Ks every time I run, but I haven't done an actual "race" since I was 14. When I registered, the application asked if I had an inspiring story, so I said that I was once 400 pounds after battling a decade-long depression, but have now beat depression and lost 180 pounds.

Congrats!!! Good luck on the racing. I love running, but I haven't signed up for a race yet.

you are inspiring!!!!

That's awesome congratulation!!!

Very cool!

Awesome! I am thinking about doing a few 5ks next year if the knees can take it.

Awesome! I also signed up for a "turkey trot". I'm excited. I do 5k's quite frequently, but I've NEVER run one. This will be my first.

Congratulations, the best of luck, you will love it!
