Well, my friends...Thanksgiving has come and gone, and with it, the Gobble Jog. My first 5k was a blast and I really enjoyed. What a great group of supportive people I have around me. There were lots of my friends waiting to cheer me on at the end.
One friend really went the extra mile. About 200 yards from the end, Becky was standing on the side cheering me on, but it didn't stop there. As I passed her, she jumped back in the race with me and encouraged me all the way to the finish. It was awesome. Thanks to her, I made my goal time of < 40 minutes.
My 42nd birthday is February 10th (please, no gifts). As a present to myself, I am signing up for the Marietta 5k Mardi Gras Run, benefiting the Junior League, on February 12th. I've changed my countdown clock from the Gobble Jog to this race, and today it is sitting at 78 days and counting!
Thanks to everyone that has encouraged me, exercised with me, and listened to me babble on about getting in shape and the Gobble Jog. One race down, a lifetime to go!
