Early November 2010 I decided I needed a change, time to shed some weight and start running. I decided my first race would be on Thanksgiving day in Cumberland Center Maine the Turkey trot 5K. So there I was, I had 5 short runs under my belt as i bellied up to the line literally. I weighed in at 230lbs at 5'6". I suffered through the race and ran the whole distance finishing my first 5K in 34:36.
I continued to run and walk, I was dedicated to losing weight and transforming myself into a runner. I pushed myself to get out and run as much as possible to date I now weigh 175lbs here is a list of races I have done to date and my finishing times.
Turkey Trot 5k 34:36
Jingle 5k 32:43
