My 5k yesterday

I signed up for my first 5k a month or so ago which was held yesterday. Wasn't sure how it would go since I got a nasty sinus cold and even missed work on Friday...plus the weather wasn't the best. But the race went on and so did I!
I was pleased when I checked the post race results to see my time of 29:08 for a 48th place finish overall. Then, much to my surprise I learned that I had finished 3rd for my female age group--so I even came home with a medal! With the weather and my cold, I'm sure I can improve on my time....yes, I'll be doing more 5k's! I'm hooked now!
I was in track in high school but did more field events than running events and have never thought of myself as a runner. But now, I've really grown to like it! It not only has helped me drop weight but it's also kind of a stress reliever for me.
If I can do a 5k, so can you!! Find the courage to sign up for your first one...you'll be glad you did!
