Winning

November 24, 2011--5K Race

Pre-race Jitters. I thought I would throw up. Jess didn't feel that way.

I felt so official with a number on my shirt.
Aren't my racing buddies just the best? They were
great support.

The final stretch.

The Finish. Although I was far from crossing the finish line first, I felt like a winner.
I lost 32 lbs. to do this race and have exercised5-6 times a week since July to accomplish this
"BUCKET LIST" goal. I have not accomplished my entire goal yet on the health kick, but I am getting there. As the saying goes, "Slow and steady wins the race."
Be Nice to People,
Julie
