5K

About a month ago, I know I'm a little behind, I ran my first 5K!! Although, I'm disappointed that I didn't run the half marathon I had committed to, I'm proud of myself that my first race was a success. I ran in with the student running club at my school and during the race I walked a little with a couple of students to encourage them so my time wasn't great but oh well. I also don't have pictures because the only ones I have have students in them also.

I can honestly say at the end I felt a small sense of accomplishment! Especially since I have NEVER been a runner!! I hated running in highschool. I was that girl who walked the entire mile on P.E. fitness testing days, that's how much I despised it. I think my relationship now with running is definately love-hate. Some days are great, I can totally push myself, and other days I am forcing my legs to go each and every step. And I usually know what kind of day its going to be while putting my running clothes on and sometimes really have to exercise some good self talk. For now I am a treadmill runner, I know many people hate the treadmill, but not me. Yes, it's boring at times but I crank up the music and I'm obsessed with looking at my pace and distance. For now I am working on a faster time and adding distance each week. I look forward to more races and am already looking at a few coming up!
