My First 5K

Tonight was my first 5K. I can't even put into words how amazing it felt. 

To run, to finish, to beat my goal time! This being my first one, and with my lack of training, I really didn't know what time I'd be able to finish it in. So I decided an hour would be my limit, with under 45 minutes making me very happy. I made it in 44:50!

As soon as I heard my friends cheering I started to tear up. I couldn't believe I had done it.

We went out for chicken burgers after to celebrate. Wearing my race shirt, I couldn't believe I was one of them now. I run!

There was one negative about running at night though, I missed all of the mile markers because it was so dark!
