Workin my way to "swagalicious"! (279 days til the big 4-0)

5K in 47 minutes, a best time for me, at Susan G Komen Race for the Cure 3/10/12
This is my "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" smile, pre-race.
That's me in the Ray Charles shades, above the foreground lady's head, crossing the finish line!  A great feeling after having to bail out less than a mile into the Edison Festival of Light 5K.  Still sporting the same dumb shoes that give me blisters...ouch!  The others didn't work out, but I'm hoping to trade them in this week.

To date I've shed 38 pounds since Nov 1, weighing in at 229 down from 267 (finally bought a scale), and dropping 2+ pant sizes... only 94 pounds to reach my goal.  I'm more than 1/3 of the way there!  Looking forward to continuing my fitness journey.  Thanks for following along.  I need all the support and encouragement I can get.
