Quarry Turkey 5k

I completed a 5k!

Saturday, Nov 24, my momma, sister and I all participated in the Quarry Turkey 5k in Fremont.

S got me to start running back in August.

Mom jumped on the wagon after she and S came to visit me while D was fighting wild fires.

We all registered for the Quarry Turkey 5k to give me and mom something to train and work towards.

Mom did awesome with her training!  

She followed our training schedule diligently.  

She would text me and report her success.  

She was ready for this 5k.

I did awesome initially.

But then I broke two toes.

And then I got sick which made my asthma flare up big time.

So I was going into this 5k feeling totally unprepared.

But, I did it!

 I completed my first 5k!

My time wasn't stellar.  

I did a mix of walking and running.

I'm still really proud of myself.

A year ago, I was: 

pregnant, on bed rest, throwing up constantly, rapidly losing weight, and in and out of the hospital.

Six months ago, I:

 gave birth a month early and it was life threatening for J and me.

I'm proud of how far I've come!

And I'm excited to see how far I'll go! 
Because this is just the beginning.
