First 5K Race

I ran my first 5K race this morning and decided to do the Color Run. It was an amazing experience and possible the start to my running life. I ended up finishing the run in 29 minutes and 30 seconds but I was unable to run the whole thing. I made it to the 3K mark and had to slow down to a walk for 20 seconds then stopped a half kilometer later for another 20 second walk but finished the rest out strong. Feeling pretty good right now.

    hey well done! Who cares if you didn't run the whole thing, you completed it! Think of how well you will do if you run the whole thing. 29:30 is very respectable for a walk/run! some people cant even do that for a full run! keep it up
