Comments:

I know a 10k wouldnt be the first event choice of most people but I live around Tyler and have always thought about it. So there you are. I really thought I would end up walking half of the course but ran at a slow jog the entire way with my 12 yr old daughter. Couldnt be more proud of my daughter and myself. Now my whole family is interested in running some. We will see where that goes. Ive come a long way from 245lb to 218lb, from not being able to walk 6mi much less run it. I feel great!
What would you do differently?:

More time to train.
