My first 5K race


We did a 5K race on saturday just for fun and it was a lot harder for me then I thought. I am definitely way out of shape. I knew I could do it in under an hour so I made my goal 45min. Well, I actually did it in 50 min. So I know what to goal to shoot for next time. Even though it was hard for me, it gives me motivation to train hard and do better next time. It seemed much more meaningful than just running on a treadmill at the gym. We weren't running for any specific reason but it was satisifing to finish a race. Will, of course, could have finished in half the time but being a sweet husband, he stayed with me for encouragement.

WAY TO GO! I think it is great you are just doing stuff. I think it would be terrible to run in snow.

Proud of you, Melissa. And glad to hear Bippy is so supportive. We raised him right:)

So cool. It makes me want to do one. Did you train for it with Bibby?

since it has been a very snowy winter and we only have one car, I didn't really get to get out and train for it. Its finally warming up now, all the snow is gone. I am really going to try training for one over the summer. I want to get a better time.

You so brave Melissa ! i'm not dare to run in cold weather, maybe when you run you're not feel cold at all :) Great Job
