I Did It!!!!! With A New Personal Record....

Just got home from running my first ever 5 K Run...in a word...unbelievable! I ran the 3.1 miles in 27 min and 55 seconds! Not sure what my splits were, but I do know the first mile I ran in 8 min 9 seconds.

I am very pleased with my time. Hubby and the little guy, Max were there to cheer me on, taking pictures around every other stretch...
The run was an out and back run...almost like cross country..very little of it was on a paved surface. I was covered in mud, it was wet, slippery..kind of like a trail run....not what I expected it to be at all.

It was fun though. I will post pictures as soon as I can find my camera cord or first thing Monday from work.

I truly now have the racing bug! I can't wait until the next one.

That's awesome!! I've walked a couple of the 5Ks here, but my time is more like 40 min. ha ha

We're doing a 1/2 marathon in Sept. Can't wait...sorta.
