Comments:

For my first 5K, I did pretty well. I would have like to run the entire race but had difficulty after mile 1. I ran miles 1 and 3 entirely.....probably walked .4 of mile 2........physically I think I could have run the entire race but mentally struggled with maintaining the run.

This is a personal best for me since I have not run since highschool 10 years ago and I have become very out of shape and overweight. I now know that my training is paying off and that over time I will continue to improve.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, it was my goal to finish and do my best.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked, had water, orange slices, banana and slice of apple.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental confidence in ability to sustain run.

Event comments:

Great race for first timer, very friendly volunteers and participants. Even the most experienced participants made me feel welcome to be there.....
