My First St. Jude 10K

When I first started Weight Watchers in December of 2015, the only exercise that I got was water aerobics.  I would get short of breath just walking to the parking garage at work.  Fast forward to December of 2016, and I proudly did the St. Jude 10K.  I raised money for the kids at St. Jude and I ran and walked the full 6.2 miles.  I was so proud of our Team Turtle.  4 people on our team started a weightloss journey in December of 2015, we have lost a combined total of 300 pounds.  We have come a long way that is for sure.  I was glad to get to share this great accomplishment with them.

This was on the news, this was the crowd waiting to start.

needless to say with our slow pace, we were at the rear at the start.

I loved the little St. Jude logo of praying hands painted on the street.

can you see the bridge behind us?

There were cool signs along the route.  My favorite was a teen age boy in the St. Jude campus, his said "Run Faster, We are Freezing", then a girl had one that said "Worst Mannequin Challenge Ever"....ha!!!  I thought they were cute. 

We stopped on Danny Thomas Blvd to take a pic with the St. Jude Hospital in the background. 

over between the VA hospital and Regional One (The MED), my sister Rhonda came to cheer us on. 

We did it!!!!

very proud moment, even if I am wearing a fanny pack. 

I wanted to sleep with that metal.
