Subject: First 5K..success! I ran my first 5k race ever yesterday morning---I started out running quite a bit faster than I usually do--race excitement I suppose. I ran my first mile in 8:33, but then I slowed down to my normal pace I think. In any case, I finished in 28:07, which is about 2 minutes faster than I train. I came in 47th, out of however many people---mostly serious runners, that I could tell. The leaders took off at a sprint!! Or at least that's what it looked like. In any case, I was pleased with my own performance. My personal best is the only thing I can hope for!
The weather is really awful at the moment, so my training has been sort of pu on halt--I'm finished with school, so there is no where for me to train but outside. Hopefully I'll be getting a membership at a nearby pool this week, and maybe hang out at the rock climbing gym....Ahhh I've got cabin fever. I'm just glad my race didn't get rained out yesterday!!!
I hope everyone has a great week!
