5 Months - From 5K to 13.1

I decided to post the compare and contrast pictures of my first 5K on May 2nd, 2010 with my first 13.1 on October 3rd. I don’t want to call them “before” and “after” because that sort of implies that I am finished, and that is absolutely not the case.

It’s fun to look back and see where I have been over the last 5 months

The person on the right weighs 35 lbs less than the person on the left
The person on the left couldn’t run a full 5K without walking about 1/3, the person on the right ran a 10K walking only twice
The person on the left used music to distract him from the run, the person on the right thinks music is a distraction
The person on the left had a bunch of clothes that fit, the person on the right needs new clothes because the one he has are too big (but is too cheap to buy them knowing he has 50 more pounds to lose)
The person on the right has a 13.1 magnet on his car

It has been a fun ride. I can’t wait to see what the future brings…
