5k Success!

So on April 23rd I ran my very first ever 5k, and it was awesome! It was supposed to start at 845 in the morning, but they were running a bit behind so instead we started around 855. I had two goals for this race: 1) run the entire thing, except at water stations; 2) don't be last. Goals accomplished! There was a really steep hill during this one part near the end, but I kept on running. It was funny because my roommate who went with me 'slowed' to a walk for a bit during the hill and she was still doing the same pace as I was - that's how slow I run. The whole thing took 45 mins, which means I ran a 15 min mile which is way slow, but I am okay with that. That means that my goal for the next race can be to run it faster than I had previously. Anyway, that's my plan. I think I might have caught the bug and I want to run a bunch more 5k's this summer. Wish me luck!
