HUGE personal acheivment

Okay, I should have said this in my first entry, but I forgot to tell you all of my most recent, GIANT personal acheivement…

rn

Last Sunday I walked my first ever 10K…

rn

I have done numerous 5k’s and even one 5 mile walk, but had never done a 10K…I did it by myself because I suddenly found myself without a supportive friend or family member in the world!!! HAH!

rn

But actually, it ended up well, as I did it by myself, thought I was going to die, but when I crossed the finish line, the elation I felt was soooo intense, very hard to describe…The whole thing probably would have been lost on any one walking with me…

rn

So anyway, I walked a 17.49 minute mile, which is NOT great, but okay…There was an 80 year old man who did half that time! GEESH!!! But I will try again next year…
