Ran my first race this morning! (5k)

acciomuscles · September 2011

I am currently training for a 10k at the end of October, but my university hosted a 5k race this morning which I decided to enter just so I could say I did it (I'm up to running 4.5 miles at a stretch at the moment). I woke up early and warmed up by running my fastest mile in years (9:58!) and later ran the 5k in about 31:30, about 3 minutes faster than I usually take to do that distance! I only started running in late June/July, and training outside starting at the end of August, so this is a huge victory for me. Can't wait to do the 10k and write another happy post!
