in Introduce Yourself
I started to train for a 5k, and never thought I could run 3.1 miles. I did 3 miles 3 times before the race and couldn't believe it, so... my 2 goals for the race were to run the whole time, and complete it at a 10mph pace (31 minutes). I ran the whole time, even with the hills, and completed the race in 29:45!!

    Super congrats and I'm soo jealous! I'm not brave enough to run a 5K yet :) I got up to 2 miles/day, 2-3 days/week, but a 5K still scares me a bit :)
