Ran my first 5K today!! Not an "official" race, but ran 3.1 miles today, outside, literally in 28+ years (last time I ran even 3 miles outside was my sophomore year in high school in cross country!). Ran it in 37 min 10 sec when I was expecting around 45 minutes or so....Woohoo!!!!

    Decent time.

    When I did my first one it was about 40 mins.

    I love 'unofficial' races. Especially if you have a nice area to do it in.
