Haven't you lost a bunch of weight, changed your eating habits, started exercising and quit smoking?  That sounds pretty damn impressive.

Congratulations! That's a great time for your first 5k! I recommend taking a bath in some epsom salts to make the ouch go away. You'll be looking for another race soon and you're next time will be even better!

Congrats! You've worked SO hard to get to this point and you should be incredibly proud of yourself. I want to share one of my favorite running quotes with you:

"It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually, you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit." 

 

WAY TO GO!
