I completed my first 5K. My time was 50:05 (according to RunKeeper---I haven't seen the official time yet).
I ran the entire way.

This picture is just before crossing the finish line.

    I live in a relatively small town that is 3 hours from everywhere. I don't know if I can do any out of town races at this time. The next one in town is in September. Maybe I'll be ready for 10K by then! :)

    nice job cool outfit haha

    Thanks. I'm not sure if you can tell from this picture, but the shirt and hat are R2D2. There was a costume contest, but apparently an robot from "a galaxy far far away" isn't considered alien enough. The girl who won was the typical green alien.
