My first 5k!!

supersarah14

Hi Everyone!!!

I accomplished a very big goal for me yesterday! I ran my very first 5k!!! AND I did it in 35 min and 15 seconds! My best friend ran with me and my mom, my stepdad and her husband came to cheer us on (my boyfriend couldn't get off work but he did suprise me later after he got off). They even made us a sign!

I did have to walk briefly because I was having trouble breathing (which is the one thing I didn't want to do) but I'm ok with it. It was extremely humid in maryland yesterday and I was ill. PLUS I still finished it in a time that I'm proud of.

If you'd have told me I'd run a 5k in under 40 min 2 months ago...heck if you'd told me that I'd be running for more than 5 min at a time 2 months ago I would have laughed. So the fact that I accomplished this was huge and I am so proud of myself. :)

Yeah for you!!! Woot! That is so exciting. The great thing about a 5k is that you can run them often and really work on your time... or!... train for longer distances.

Cheers!

THATS SO GREAT!!!! Congrats!!! you're time is amazing! I ran my first one in 42 min and 12 seconds but i had to keep stopping and walking for a few minutes because i had a massive sinus infection, so im hoping that my second one will be a better time...something closer to what you did yours in

keep up the great work!!!
