i did it!

I ran my first real* 5k on Saturday!  I started running in the first week of April and used a training plan on my miCoach app after picking out a small-ish, local 5k.  A couple of weeks in, I set myself a goal time to work toward and kept at it.

On Saturday, I beat my goal time!  I ran with a friend who pushed me to make sure I got it done. I know my time is pretty slow compared to the super experienced runners, and I was even beat by a few little ones under the age of 12.  However, before April 1, I hadn't run in almost two years, so it's taking a while to get back in the swing of things, and I was never a very good runner.

Feeling pretty accomplished. Gave myself yesterday and today off.  Now to set a new goal time and get started on training for the next 5k!

New 5k PR: 33:11

*I ran a 5k about a year and a half ago, but I didnt hardly train for it at all and was roped into participating at the last minute. I consider the 5k this week as my first real 5k because it's the first one I trained for and set a goal time for.
