So I ran my first 5k today and I was so nervous but I had so much support from my husband and daughter. And a lot of love from all my mfp friends. I finished in my best time 38:30. I loved the whole experience. It was a smaller race and that was good first race for me. I plan on entering in a bigger race next month.
I knew that I was only in competition with myself. That is the attitude that I went in with. No matter what everyone else is doing around me, I'm just going to do the best that I can!
Training for the race has really got me over my plateau. I am going to continue to run and improve my time. This time next year, I would love to run a 10k.
Even if you don't leave a comment, thanks for looking!
Before the race. V for Victory!
I prefer this pic over the cheese ball pic below!
Cheesy staged pic before race!
What I actually looked like after the race!

You can do it! I never thought I could and I survived. And now I want more! Can't wait for the next race to see if I can beat or atleast match my time!0 -

It was fun! It's something about being in the environment and around other racers that really gets your heart pumping! I was super excited!0 -

Thanks everyone for all the love. In the past, I dreaded the one mile run in high school and now I'm actually looking forward to the next race. Who are you and what have you done with the real Lee?? lol0
