NSV - My first 5K

Angela7zFit

I have never posted here before...but on Saturday I ran my first 5K in the rain, wind and cold. I actually ran the entire thing, came in about 45 minutes. (NOT LAST which was my goal)..waiting for the official time. I have never really felt so accomplished. I started with C25K program and it was great. Now I am looking for the next race...but I don't want to do it in snow.

That is great!! All it takes is one 5k to get the running bug, congrats

No snow, eh? My next planned race will be dec 28. The great thing about the racing environment for me is that it can turn an otherwise dreary day into a fun one. Remember, everyone next to you hauled their butts out I the exact same weather ;-)

All that said, great job! The thrill of a first run is one that you will remember for quite a while :-) very proud!

You never forget your first 5K! Congratulations!

(It was pretty ugly up here in Ottawa too last weekend - I pretty much had the rec path to myself for both runs)

Congratulations, you are totally awesome (and bad *kitten*) for doing it in the cold rain and very inspiring. Especially to someone like me trying to get through 5K training now.
Thank you for posting and massive woo hoo to you!
