5 K Walk Run???? You are kidding!
Feeling GOOD! On Sunday May 22, 2005 the Colorado Rockies HomeRun 5k walk/run occurred. The Rockies werent at the stadium, they were away games but the event ended at the stadium....inside. Why do I tell you this? Because I signed up for it and did it! Granted I am not allowed to run, I walked it all but walked kinda fast until the end when they made you walk around the warning track of the field. Then I was looking at things all over. Not good for a baseball fan to have the walk/run through the stadium.
I did it! I entered and had a number pinned on me 1005. I did so well, it was challenging but did not hurt. If it did or I felt I couldn't do it, I would stop. I wanted to see if I really am doing as well as I think I am. Apparently I am. I am thankful daily that my obscure operation has been successful! Knock on wood.I did this 5k alone and did not advertise it since I am not like that. I wanted to see if I could do it for myself. Then after I told a few people, but not many. I think I can do the Relay for Life in a few weeks.
I placed 1112th out of 1439 and finished in 50:08. Out of 760 women I placed 542nd.
For 35 to 39 year old women I was 54th out of 79 finishers.
Can you believe this!!!! I walked a 5 k! Crazy stuff! Just wanted to let you know I been doing so well. I am thankful every day that I can walk. I know someday that could change but I am sure glad it's not today.
Wow have I come a long way! Sometimes I amaze myself!

Hi! This is the first I've perused your journal and i just have to say " You Go Girl!"
You should be so proud of yourself for doing the walk.
Wow. I believe my aunt in Ark suffered from RSV and luckily didn't lose her leg, though it was caught in late stage 2.
I post here under chronic pain, Fibromyalgia. It's nice to meet you and even better to commend you on a walk well done!
Hugs and Blessings, Judy
