Me and my mom ran a 5k! We finised the race in 36 minutes, but it took about 10 minutes to even reach the starting line beacause of all the people, and then having to navigate through all the people. So subtracting that we figure its about 26minutes at the most so we did at least a 10 minute mile!!

    I run every day. I usually walk half of it though. The only reason I did this one was because my uncle was supposed to go with my mom but he got sick, so I went instead. Sooo glad I did. Ive been running since I was like, 15, o 3 years!

    That's so encouraging! I used to run in high school, 5K and 10K I'd love to go right now, except I'd probably have a heart attack. Maybe in a few months I'll be posting that I got fit enough to run a 5K. You should be very proud of yourself!
