Pookie,

Congratulations on doing the 5K. That is a tremendous accomplishment!

A thought if I may...just because you did it doesn't mean someone else can do it. Look back and remember all the well meaning people who said to you, "Well if I can lose the weight on Weight Watchers (or whatever diet)", then you can too. That wasn't true either, eh? :wink2:

Again, congratulations. You should be very proud of yourself!

I'm going to have to check and see where you live because the idea of even walking across the field to my mother-in-law's this morning is not very appealing. It's colder than naked chicken in the freezer where I'm at!

congrats on the 5K. I wish I could walk at all but right now my legs won't allow it. Maybe with more weight loss and my legs getting better, I will someday be able to brag too.

Pat yourself on the back...you deserve it.

You Go Girl,

I have looked at the couch to 5k on the net and have considered doing it but never thought I could run like that .....but you might just have inspired me ....I currently WALK 5km on my treadmill each day I get up to a very fast walking pace of 6km hour but I just can't make my self run I think it has a lot to do with childhood, never wanted to run then either LOLL.....

Any way great job keep up the great work.:w00t:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
