First 5k!

tirola

I've been wanting to run a 5k for quite some time but have always been too afraid to actually sign up for one. That has all changed now. I'm proud to say that I have now run my first official 5k!! I did the Color Me Rad race last Saturday with a couple friends and had a great time! I wasn't able to run the whole thing but I did finish in 42 minutes (it wasn't a timed race, I just timed myself) which, considering I hadn't been able to run for the 3 weeks prior to the race, I was ok with. I seem to have gotten bit by the bug because I am now signed up to do another run on Aug 24 and am hoping to drop my time by a few minutes but more importantly, I'm aiming to be able to run the whole 5k. Regardless of what my time ends up being, I know I can do it...I can finish the race and feel a sense of pride/accomplishment when I cross that finish line!

Well done you!

You do know that the 5k is like a gateway drug, don't you?! Welcome to being an addict :-)
