First 5k

emorym

Today I raced in my first 5k. I have started training for a Half marathon in February. They had us run a 5k so they can place us in pace groups. I have been running now for 3 weeks. I finished in 38:35 which is no where near the time the fast people finish in. However this was my first race and I finished and I am very happy with my finish time. Of course after the race I had to go teach a 6 hour woodturning class. So I have been on my feet all day. The couch is really calling my name now.

Awesome job on the bike ride. And I see from your tracker that you are doing good on your goal as well. It is too bad 5am comes so early in the morning. Just think of any soreness as a pleasant reminder of the awesome bike ride from today.
