Well, I did it. Last Saturday I successfully ran the 5K run. It was such a satisfying thing for me to do this because I am not a runner. I made a goal, I worked at it, and I accomplished my goal. Anyway, my two goals in running this was to run, not walk, at least the first mile and to finish it in less than 50 minutes. I ran the whole 3.1 miles and I did it in 43 minutes! I was the last of my siblings to arrive but I did it! I am planning on running the mile fun run in the Kiwanis Park on the 4th of July--my sisters, brother-in-law, and brother are doing the 5K again but I thought I would just do the mile run. Maybe next year I will be ready to do a bunch of 5K's but this year, one was good enough for me. The best thing that I got from this experience is that if you put your mind to something, you can accomplish anything.Disneyland! My favorite Vacation Spot!!

Great job!!!!!!! Maybe someday when babysitters are easier to come by I'll do the same thing! (I hope!)
Good Job Kari! I so want to do that too. Maybe I'll even try for July 4th. Do you know how to register for that?
YEA KARI...very impressive. I don't know that I could do that. How much weight did you loose...that's what would intise me to do it :)
Congrats! That is so awesome. I am still trying to convince myself to do a 5K. Maybe next year!
unfortunately I have not lost any weight but I am keeping in shape which is my goal. I think once I stop nursing I will drop some weight but right now it is not happening!
Man I am so proud of you. Way to go. I hope that I can do a 5k next spring. I bet it was such a rush.
Congrats on meeting both of your goals! You are really an inspiration. What an accomplishment. I'm so happy for you.
