NSV: First 5K

I didn't think this would be such a big deal, but I ran in my first 5k on Saturday. I did pretty good too, I think for my first time, I did it in 30:10, and I only missed 3rd place in my age group by 30 seconds. Looks like a lot of good runners can do this in about 26 minutes, so that is my new goal. To get my time down and do it again. I never thought I would say I wanted to even do one 5k, pay to run and get up early???? That sounded weird.

But after I finished, and I ran the whole way, that was my goal, run the entire time, I felt so dang accomplished. I mean this time last year, I was more than 70 pounds heavier and I couldn't run more than 1 minute. Now I am already thinking of how often, I might like to do a 5k and when possibly I may try a 10k!
