Jelly Roll triumphantly conquered his inaugural 5K race, earning a tender kiss from his beloved wife, Bunnie XO, in celebration.
Taking place on Tuesday, May 7, the renowned country star, aged 39, joined Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura for the exhilarating 2 Bears 5K event held at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. This momentous achievement was the culmination of months of dedicated training since January.
Bunnie, who enthusiastically took part in the event alongside Jelly Roll, shared captivating footage on her Instagram Stories, showcasing her journey amidst a bustling crowd. She also penned a heartfelt tribute to her husband, encapsulating the pride and joy of this remarkable milestone.
The post featured the radiant Dumb Blonde podcast host, grinning from cheek to cheek, as she joined her husband in a refreshing cold plunge tub.
"The couples that complete the 5K together, take a cold plunge together 😍," Bunnie captioned the video, exuding warmth and affection.
Following the event, Jelly shared in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that he felt "a bit weary" but overall "fantastic."
"It turned out to be a tad more challenging than I anticipated, but it's incredible, mate," remarked the musician.
Jelly further highlighted the "most amazing aspect" of the event, noting, "how numerous individuals stopped to express that they found inspiration in us, fellow larger guys."
Reflecting back to February, the singer revealed his "primary aim for the 5K" was weight loss.
"As long as I'm preparing for this endeavor, I'm steadily shedding pounds. I've been enjoying some truly fantastic meals, so I'm thrilled," he shared.
Jelly later disclosed the fruits of his training, informing in April, "I've likely shed around 70 pounds."
"I've been truly giving it my all. I'm clocking in two to three miles each day, four to six days a week. I'm dedicating 20 to 30 minutes to the sauna daily, followed by a brisk six-minute dip in the cold plunge. My diet is on point at the moment," he elaborated.
The artist emphasized that experiencing a "really good" sensation after the lifestyle adjustment further motivated him to establish fresh health objectives.
"I've been contemplating, I aim to shed another 100, maybe even 100-something pounds. If I feel this fantastic at my current weight, mate, I can only envision how incredible I'll feel by the time I hit the road for tour," he expressed.
The Quran - Chapter Al-Fath : 26
˹Remember˺ when the disbelievers had filled their hearts with pride—the pride of ˹pre-Islamic˺ ignorance1—then Allah sent down His serenity upon His Messenger and the believers, inspiring them to uphold the declaration of faith,2 for they were better entitled and more worthy of it. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.
From the heart of a man in which the fear of God is firmly embedded, the importance of everything other than God is driven out.
He sets God above everything else in life. The occasion of Hudaybiyyah severely tested the companions, but they acquitted themselves well.
On this occasion the opposite party had demonstrated brazen obstinacy and communal bias, but the companions simply reposed their trust in God.
Their righteousness prevented them from obdurate retaliation and prejudice during this crucial trial period. Till the very end, they did not allow themselves to be provoked.
