First 5k!

I did it! I ran my first 5k! (A 5k is 3.1 miles) My goal was to run the whole thing, no walking! And I did it! That is a huge accomplishment for me. I have NEVER been a runner! The only times I have ran was for school... way back in the day when I had to run a mile for P.E.
It was lots of fun! The weather was terrible! 37 degrees and rainy. When we first started the 5k it was sprinkling, but just a few minutes into it it really started coming down! Then it turned into SLEET! It felt like little needles stabbing my face! Then the snow came, but not for long, it decided to rain again. We were soaking wet! I couldn't feel my hands, they were frozen... It's all good though, I will always remember this 5k. We still had tons of fun and just laughed at how crazy the weather was :)

Before the race with Katharine and Kara.

After crossing the finish line. WOO WHO! (Ya like my bright pink ear warmer? Yeah I made it out of a sock ;)) Ben was my cheerleader. He toughed out the weather for me, and cheered us on!

My next 5k is Saturday! My goal: beat my time! I'll let you know how I do!
