My first 5k Tomorrow

[Tyra]

So I’m super pumped about participating in my first 5k in DC. I know it’s nothing to the expert runners, but it’s exciting to me.

I was motivated by a long time client/friend. Its amazing how this person was encouraging over the past few years and inspiring. Shout out to the great hobbyists.

Good luck! I must say I’d love to see you run!

Hey, that's awesome Tyra. Aside from anything else, you're participating, and that's great!
I wish I could say the same. I'd need a team of EMT's, oxygen tanks, an AED, and probably a cardiovascular surgeon if I tried one of those.
Maybe someday I'll do one. Please let us know how it goes!
Good luck!!

[Tyra]

Thank you! I’m sure you could survive. I’ll certainly give an update.

If you were there with me....I'd survive. Boy howdy would I ever survive! You get my heart racing and my legs moving!

Good luck gorgeous. If I was close I would be waiting at the finish line to give you a nice massage. hehehehe

Good luck! I'm with Karma, it wouldn't be pretty.

Well the virtual support helps a lot! I’ll just use my imagination when it comes to the massage. Let’s just hope the sports bra I bought, which by the why is a few sizes too small, holds up.

Good luck - I'm sure you'll do fine. I know I can complete a 5k. I'm just not going to say how long it would take me to do it.

Too small I doubt it will hold up! No pun intended!

Pictures or it didn’t happen!

I hope you enjoyed your first 5k. It is not about the time or place you finish but the enjoyment and satisfaction it gives you hopefully.

I have ran hundreds of road races in my life but it has been a few years now. I really want to get back into running shape then when you visit the Midwest sometime we can run one together.

I don't think anyone would mind seeing a picture of you in that sports bra either....

[Firewood]

Thatta girl! Hope it went well.
It's on my bucket list.

Anyone hear from Tyra?

Did she pass the finish line and keep running... a la Forest Gump? Maybe she is heading to me.

Hope all went well

Hey everyone

I’m laughing at the Forrest Gump line!! I was actually sleeping yesterday. I came down with a cold after the race.

I Completed the race and Through the finish line at around 45 Mins. I did more of a walk. I had my son in a stroller, which gave me even more motivation.

I felt excited about actually being out there and trying. I will say that next time, I intend on doing more preparation. I.E. Stretching, walking, etc.

Now I’m waiting for those promised massages!!

[Tyra]

It didn’t take too long for me. I’m sure you’d be able to complete it. It’s the aftermath that’s crucial.

Good luck - I'm sure you'll do fine. I know I can complete a 5k. I'm just not going to say how long it would take me to do it.
