| My First 5k!!!! Sam and I did our first 5k today (Nov 1) for Diabetes. He did better than I didThis was also our Week 9 Challenge for the Biggest Loser. Last year I entered Sam into a local photo contest where he won 1st place for collecting the most money. All the money went to buy this little girl a service dog for her diabetes. She was at the race today and we got to meet her! How cool is that?!?!!? Very exciting. I walked and jogged some of it. I didnt jog very much because my pants kept falling down Sam HOWEVER ran the entire time!! He took off with my Exercise Barbie friend and loved every minute of it. It was a beautiful day and I really did enjoy it. Except for the fact my hair looked like one big ole' frizz bomb There are lots of pics so I just put them in a slideshow and WOW - my hair is a WRECK!!! I think next time I need to opt for a pony or french braid. Login to a private Photobucket.com album

| Congratulations, that is very exciting - especially once you cross over the finish line. I just did my first 1/2 Marathon (actually the only one Ive ever done) back on Oct. 4th and I was so proud that I finished. My hubby is actually running the NYC Marathon today - God Bless him!!! Congrats again, would love to see the pictures but it would not let me w/out a password!

| Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket Ok try this... it should work without the password. Thanks everyone! I have to run a full 5k before I move on to a 10k I didnt take the stroller, it was in my car -- just in case! But he took off with Diane and I didnt see him till the end. Along the way I kept asking the volunteers-- "A yorkie in camo shouldve came by earlier- how is he?" -- They would laugh and let me know he was ok
