5K Results

Jul 29, 2012

I had a great run yesterday.  I finished the 5K in 44:23.  That's 9 minutes faster than my last 5K.  The couch to 5K training works!!  I've been doing it for 5 weeks and I have improved so much it's amazing. 

The next race coming up is in 2 weeks.  I don't know if I'll be able to beat my time that soon or not but I will give it a shot.  It was just amazing to me that I was able to run the entire distance without any walking breaks.  The adrenaline of the race atmosphere and energy sure helps that along but now that I've done it I know that I will continue to do it and increase my distance and hopefully my speed as well.  I'm such the turtle just plugging along at an easy pace though.  Just finishing is what counts for me.  I'm only out to beat myself if I can do that. 

My friends and family were at the race yesterday and it was pretty cool to see the sign and hear people who know you cheering you on.  That was very cool.
