NSV - First 5K

BioQueen

Hi guys!

I started running in the summer and I picked out a 5K to run in October (today) so I could work towards a goal. I started out at 4.0 mph on the treadmill for 15 minutes at a time. WELL I ran my 5K today and it was great! Everyone was so nice and the weather was perfect. I ran 30:12, a time I NEVER thought I would get on my first race. I definitely felt like I pushed harder. One guy at the end ~my age was talking with me after and said: "I looked behind me towards the middle and no one was there. Then you came out of nowhere!" I ended up finishing with him.

It's an awesome day!

That's an awesome time for your first 5K!! Congrats

I'll warn you though, it starts with 5Ks, before you know it you're doing marathons, triathlons, duathlons. It's the best kind of addiction :laugh:
