I ran the little rock marathon 5k

Mar 03, 2012

WOOHOOO!!!  I did it!!!  I signed up for the 5k and today was the day.  Got up at 5am, got rady and ahd a light breakfast.  At 6:30am I left for the marathon.  At 7:45am lined up for the marathon, at 8am the gun went off and there I go a slow jog for the 1/2 mile. Did youread that? FOR ATHE 1/2st mile I jogged with out stopping!!! YEAH ME!!!  1 mile, I step it up a bit.  Controlling my breathing making sure I am not winded.  Ok I got this, her comes mile 2 O GREAT a water station, running thru grab a swallow of water. 2 1/2 miles people are cheering us on this is great.  3 mile mark, OM Goodness LORD let me make it to the finish line please, please.  Keeping my pace I add to the fire, all of a sudden I hit the finish line, and the shoe tag I was wearing came up on the computer and I hear the best voice in the world saying, Crossing the finish line is Debra Gore. Up went my hands, actually being thankful I made it and the newspapers were there taking pics of the runners who crossed the finish line. 

This was my 1st time I have ever ran in my entire life.  May of taken me 53 minutes to do  a 5k, however I DID IT!!  

The feeling I had all over my body was the most amazing feeling I have ever had.  I felt energized and wonderful.  There are muscles in my legs I never knew I had.  I am so thnakful that I did this run.

At the pre-post festivities there were other organizations advertising thier runs, so.....I made a commitment to run April 21, April 28, May 5 and the International run October 21.  I have joined a running group, we will meet 6am Saturday mornings and run for a minimun of 3 miles.  If I did not loose all of this weight, I would of never been able to do this.

I am so thankful for my RNY.  I am doing some amazing wonderful things I thought I would never do in my entire life, only wished I could.

Hello NEW LIFE!!!!!

Take Care,

Deb
