..but I am SO proud of myself!! Yesterday I completed my very first race!! I came in at 53:25, 143/318 runners and 20/39 in my age group!! And was the course EVER hilly! But I ran every step and up every hill!! Might not be considered a good time or place to some but I went with the goal to do the best I could! Already looking for my next race and am planning on doing a half-marathon in May!

    That is awesome! Hilly races are the best/worst! What was the distance?

    Thanks everyone :) It was a 5 Miler and will definitely take part again next year! It was so much fun! I think I've caught the racing bug!
