I DID IT!!

Today I ran a 5 mile race. I've been doing 5K races for a while and decided to see if I could push it a bit further. It was a warm (almost hot) sunny day, so my time was slower than I was hoping for, but I did finish in under my goal time. It felt SO good!! My time was 55:21; was hoping for 10 minute miles, but not too bad. My 3 goals were to finish in under an hour, run the whole thing, and not finish last. All goals met!! Now, I'm going to do a 10K in August.

I love being able to increase my fitness goals like this. In the past, my extra weight made it tough as joints weren't happy with the longer workouts.
