She and I walked nonstop at a brisk pace and completed the 5K in about 50 minutes. She has been working out on her elliptical machine each day, and every day after work I walk my dogs for 1.5 miles. A year and a half ago I weighed 300 lbs, I had a stress fracture in my foot, and the moment I got home from work I hit the couch and stayed there. Today I weigh about 255 and I walk those dogs every day after work without fail. I dont know how well I would do at running....my knees and feet have 24 years of UPS abuse on them...but I had no problems whatsoever walking off that 5K. We felt great afterward, and it was a lot of fun for a good cause.</p></blockquote><p></p>
