I'm so excited. I did my first 5K today. I was so nervous going into it because I had sprained my ankle two weeks ago and wasn't able to do any running until Weds. of this week and I hadn't trained that much. Also, I'm no spring chicken at the ripe old age of 54. My goal was to finish the race without walking and I DID IT. I ran with my daughter who hadn't trained much either, who was a great partner to run with. We completed the race in 29.23 minutes.

    Congratulations! That is so cool! My daughter and I are going to run a 5k on November 28 and I'll be 56. You did great with your time. I'm hoping to just finish without walking too. :happy:
