Jelly Roll successfully completed his first 5K race and received a sweet kiss from his wife, Bunnie Xo, to celebrate.
On Tuesday, May 7, the country star, 39, participated in the 2 Bears 5K with Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. — an event he’s been training for since January.
Bunnie, who also attended the event, shared videos of herself walking among a large group of people on her Instagram stories and a sweet tribute to her husband.

The post showed Stupid blonde podcast host grinning from ear to ear as she joined her husband in the cold tub.
“Couples who complete a 5km cold dive together 😍,” Bunnie wrote alongside the video.
After the event, said Jelly in an interview for Party tonight that he is “a little tired” but “feels great”.

“It was a little harder than I thought [going to be]but it’s great, man,” said the musician.
Jelly added that the “coolest thing” about the event was “how many people stopped to tell us they were motivated by us, the other big guys.”
Back in February, the singer shared with PEOPLE that his “ultimate goal for the 5K” is to lose weight.
“As long as I’m training for this thing, I’m just losing weight. I’ve been eating crazy well, so I’m excited,” he said.

Jelly later said the training paid off, telling PEOPLE in April, “I probably lost about 70 pounds.”
“I’ve been really kicking myself, man. I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in the cold water every day. I’m eating healthy right now,” he said.

The artist noted that feeling “really good” after the lifestyle change also prompted him to set new health goals.
“I was thinking, I plan to lose another 100, 100-something [pounds]. If I’m feeling this good at this weight, man, I can only imagine how I’m going to feel by the time I go on tour,” he told PEOPLE.
