Buddy's Race (5K)

Nov1820083:10 a.m.

well, today is monday and yesterday i completed the buddy's 5k in about 35 minutes. it was a blast. it was the first "real" race that i have run in a while and to be honest, my only goal was to get across the finish line still alive and breathing rather well. i accomplished both of those goals!

The first mile i started off pretty well and felt i had a pretty good tempo going, but about the mile and a half marker i was struggling. luckily for me there was a couple hills there and i was able to walk up them (at a fast pace!) and then gain momentum coming down the other side.

all in all i felt pretty good about it and i am not to sore today!!!

i am looking forward to more races in the future and more running this week!

and to think that two weeks ago i was thinking...i can't do that...well, one step at a time. i've conquered the 5k so now on to...another 5k before anything else. (baby steps folks!)
