I ran my first 5K this morning. I finished in 27:47. What shocked me was that I finished 12th out of 36 in my division and 123/378 in my gender. I was 190 out of 1033 total. Three months ago I couldn't run across the street and I just finished a race faster than 2/3 of the males and 80% of the total group. I'm totally stoked and ready to run another one. In a few weeks I'm going to start working my way up to 10K.

Thanks, everyone! I was pretty jacked about the whole thing and then when I went online and looked at the results I about flipped.
I was a little apprehensive at first and didn't know exactly how to proceed so I got a slow start but I'll know next time just to hit the gas and go.
Nancy, I would love to be in Colorado in May. I don't think it's going to pan out but yeah, let's race!0 -
I almost forgot the most important piece of information. My soundtrack for the run:
Airplane Crashers - White Rabbit
Killers - All These Things
Black Eyed Peas - Party All The Time
Weezer - I Want You To
Foo Fighters - These Days
Joy Division - Failures
Muse - Unnatural Selection0
