NSV-completed my first 5K!

I have always been scared of running, convinced I couldn't do it. Could never make myself keep going when my brain would say "stop you fool, this sucks!".

I decided that I wanted to complete one 5k in my life-cross that baby off my bucket list. So I started trying to run on the treadmill, finally got tired of my family nay-saying me, and signed up for a 5k fund-raiser for my local zoo.

I got fitted for running shoes and arch supports. I ran in addition to the other exercise I do. And this morning, I completed my first 5k in 32:48!

I am very proud of myself, it was a rather hilly race, and I never thought I'd be able to complete in that time, I was thinking I'd be coming in around 40 min.

Perhaps there may be more 5ks in my future :-)
