I DID IT!!! With Brian as my running coach, I completed the 5k (3 mile) this morning in 43:00 minutes. Now I know what you're thinking - that's almost 15 minutes a mile - but I jogged the whole distance, minus about .25 mile that I walked. That's pretty dang good! And I didn't come in last either! There was 1 person behind me :) And no, he wasn't 70 years old. That guy beat me by a long shot! The guy I passed (finally) had 2 young kids he was pushing in a jogger that needed to stop every 100 ft for a drink or snacks or whatever else kids need. But I did it and I'm very proud :)

yeah!! good job Alita! We were looking for you on the road today, we went up to Jungle playland and it's the same exit, we saw everyone running. After feeling how cold it was I was glad I didn't attempt it, but it makes you look way more hard core =) Way to go!
Good job, Alita! That is so awesome! If I had done it, I guarantee I would've come in behind the guy pushing the kids! Wish we could've been there, too.
You guys rock!!! Congrats to you and Brian for doing the Nookachamps. I'll be there next year for sure. By the way, this is Dan and not Megan :)
Wow! Way to go Alita! That's wonderful!! The more you do this kind of stuff the better and more comfortable you are with it!! I plan to join the running ranks once I have this baby...if only I could make it happen sooner than later! I could not be more proud of you! Can't wait to hear about more adventures!
Congrats! It's a great goal and you did awesome! I think anyone who runs voluntarily deserves big props.
