My First 5k
It was an experience that I really enjoyed and hope to do again in May with
the "Run for Habitat". I was a little nervous, having never done this before and being a bit shy around new people. Most looked at me a smirked a little like, "hey look at the fat guy", but I didn't care. One of the people who attended my speaking engagement for the hospital stopped me before the run and we chatted a little bit. I poised myself at the back-middle of the pack from advice I had gotten from others who have done it (avoid the stampede in the front, slow pace of the people in the back). I was passed many times and spent most of the run by myself, which was a little lonely. I played the passing game with a 10 year old girl, I passed her and a short time later she passed me, we did this a few times. I finally won out when we hit a steep incline, she decided to walk it and I kept jogging along. I never stopped, knowing that if I did I would not continue. My time was 39:12, which was faster that what I had originally thought (13min mile). If you were to tell me 3 years ago that I would be participating in 5k runs, I'd think you were nuts... Another milestone achieved... Matty 510/254/210 Mini Goal #1 - get my morning jog up 4.8mi by 03/31/07 Mini Goal #2 - 300lbs total lost by 08/31/07 www.iweighedmorethanjared.com |

Way to go, Matty!! It's really a great experience, isn't it? Our season of
5Ks begins next month, and I am really looking forward to it. "Matty (I Weighed More Than Jared From Subway)" wrote in message ...

I get those looks from the Gym Bunnies in my new fitness center. F*** them. I can do TEN MILES on the recumbent bike now--six months ago, I could barely tie my shoes. And I'm at tleast DOUBLE the age of most of them. You rock, Matty, and you're an inspiration. WWMD???
