I have not been on the boards in a long time, but I wanted to share this great success with all of you! I ran the Flint Crim 5k race. No, I was not a first place winner, heck, I would have been grateful for being in the top fifty. I was number 99 in the 30-34 age category, and there were 104 participants. However, I have been wanting to do this race since I first started Atkins in June '04, and realized it was a possibility. I whooped and hollered the whole way through because I was just so excited. The festival of races includes a 10 mile, two 8ks, two 5ks, a one mile and a teddy bear trot. There were over 7,000 people in the 10 mile, so there were about 10,000 runners participating. It was just such a thrill. And 60 lbs ago, there was not even a chance that I would have done anything but cheer from the side of the road. Yesterday, they cheered me. Thanks to all for all of your support. Love, Ann

Re: I ran the Crim 5k
Congratulations on completing it. 99th out 104 is not bad at all, at least you beat 5 people. Next time you'll beat 10, and then 20 the possibilities are endless.
Its a great feeling when you finish a race isnt it?
Well done. heres to the next one.....
