This morning I got up at the BCD to participate in my first official 5k run/walk. It's technically my third run but the first two weren't marked properly and I ended up running further than I thought.
It was 45 degrees when the race started and I was freezing. I did a minute warm up walk and then started running. Throughout the race I alternated running and walking but I'm sad to say I did alot more walking than running. I've gotten to to the point where there isn't a horrible pain shooting up my legs when I run but I still get very winded very easily.
I hit the halfway mark at 20 minutes and knew that if I at least kept my same pace I could finish in under 40 minutes. I tried really hard to pass the couple pushing a double stroller but I just couldn't do it. :(
Once I saw the finish line I just ran as fast as I could.
Official time ~ 39.34
Not bad, but not great. At least now I have a time to beat!!!! :)

I think it's great! Really really great! You have run at least 3 times in the past 3 months. How huge is that????? That's almost as many times as you went to JC Penney's. OK, it isn't. But still!
YOU? ROCK!
