Ran an 8k

I am still on a runner's high from completing an 8k 5.1 miles. I set out to do a walk / run because I have not trained outside over the winter. Although I exercise regularly and use the treadmill in my mind I was not prepared to run the entire race so settled for a run/walk with the end goal to just complete the race. Low and behold, my adrenaline kicked in and I ran the entire race non stop in 69 minutes! I am so very thankful to have made it through and injury free! Now that the spring is here I can get prepared to run tge 5k 3.1 miles in June and get faster!!

    Awesome! I admire that you were able to push through and finish without walking.
    Is running your main exercise? I would like to complete a 5k in the next month or two. I need to mix up my workout routine and I figure running would be a good alternative. I am not one who "loves" to run. I ran because I had to when I was in the military.
