Back in March I saw a sign posted at Cutter's school for a couch to 5k training group that was being held to help get people ready for an upcoming 5k being sponsored by the school. Never in my life have I had a desire to run, still don't, but for whatever reason on that day, I decided to join the group. I am so glad I did. To this day I still can't say I enjoy running, but the friendships I made have certainly made it all worth it. We started our program with runs over at the beach but eventually moved to neighborhoods with more trees and shade. Running in the Florida heat and humidity is no joke! This was an eight week program and I honestly was ready to quit after the first day. If it weren't for this wonderful group of ladies, I'm pretty sure I would have.
After one of our sessions. We are a hot group, literally!
Amazingly, this was after the 5k. To this day I am still amazed I did it. I may never run another one in my life, but probably will, but knowing I accomplished that goal was the best feeling!
To celebrate our big accomplishment, we celebrated at the Wine Bar. Jamie got all of us magnets for our cars, and I proudly display mine. It might not be a half or full marathon but it's pretty impressive for me.
My badge of honor.
