5K race getting close

I realized today that my annual 5K race is in less than one week, next Tuesday. When I signed up in March it felt like an eternity until May and now it’s almost here. My goal is as always to get a time around 30-35 min. I think my time last year was something around 33 min and that after coming home late from Paris the night before. The year before that, which was my first year, I think my time was something around 37 min. But that race was and always will be very special to me. I did something that I never thought I would do – I ran/jogged!!! Something that only fit and healthy people would do, not me. But by that time I had actually become one of the healthy and fit people. I guess losing 52 pounds in 14 months does that to people… It very easy to forget now what I actually did. It is an accomplishment to turn around your lifestyle into a healthy one. And it is an accomplishment that I’m still living that life, no matter what kind of curve balls life keeps hitting me with.
