Ran in a 5K today. Pretty proud of how I did, especially considering I just finished week 6 of a 9 week running program... not up to 3 miles yet! My time after running mile one was pretty good. 10 minutes 20 seconds. I was happy with that. I started walking shortly after that and did a combination of walking and jogging from then on. I finished unofficially at 37:40 (I need to check the website to see for sure). My first 5K last year after 12 weeks of training, I finished in 36:22, so that's not too bad. If I keep it up, I'll be running 3 miles no problem! I feel good for finishing.
Originally I was hoping the rain would hold out, but after the 2nd water station somewhere in mile 2, I was praying for rain. It is so hot and humid out! Rain would have felt good! But I did it and I'm really proud of it. I was scared to do it, but I did it anyway!
And tomorrow night, I'll be back at the track training some more... we are scheduled to run 2 1/2 miles straight. I haven't even done 2 miles straight, so it'll be tough, but I am going to do the best I can.
