I don't believe it but we did a 5K this weekend as a family (3.1 miles). My youngest is only 3 and my DH ended up walking with him on his shoulders for about 90% of it, but my dd who is 5 did a great job! I couldn't believe that I did a 5K. DH did 3 or 4 of them last year and I refused to go with him (as I hadn't had my surgery and did ZERO exercise!) but this time I did! Yeah! Our time actually sucked - we averaged 17:32 per mile, but with the 2 kids dragging along and this being our first one, we were thrilled to just finish it!

I guess this should go under the NSV thread, but I was so proud of us I wanted to shout it!

I am pretty sore today. I do the treadmill about 30 minutes 4 or 5 times a week and am never really sore, but I am today! Street walking is a whole new ball game!

That is really really really really awesome. I am so amazed.

I am not NEARLY at that level but it's very inspiring to read that you were able to do that.

Congrats to you and your family! what an accomplishment!

You're right, street walking is tough.. I can do the treadmill but when I walk like in a park or on a street I tend to jam my knee cap up.. don't know why.. perhaps the little inclines here and there...

I tend to fall and twist my weak stupid ankles.

Congratulations!! That is such an awesome accomplishment. And I love that you did it with your whole family. Crossing that finish line feels pretty damn amazing, huh? Hmm....next thing you know you'll be doing a 10k!! Great job!!

Congratulations!!!!! Before long you will be doing 10k's!!!

That is so great! Congratulations!!
