As I sit here drinking my Gevalia chocolate mocha coffee, I am giving yo all an update in my running world.
The coffee is good, by the way. Comparable to Donut House's chocolate glazed donuts.
I ran my first 5k last Saturday!
In the cold.
And with a cold.
But I done it, nonetheless.
I went with my sister and our friend. We ended up stopping a couple of times and just walking, because we were going up hill. I think we walked a quarter of a mile, total. I kicked it into high gear nearing the finish line so we could finish strong.
I thought our times were 39 minutes and some seconds. But I wouldn't find out until Monday that I actually finished in 36:33. Woot! I am so proud of myself! This gives me a starting point, and a goal to improve on.
A cool side note: after the race, I signed up at this running booth to win a free pair of New Balance shoes. I didn't win the shoes, but I won an awesome t- shirt, a kick ass water bottle, and socks made for running! I rarely win things, so this was cool!
Happy running!
