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!

Gettin' Ready for a 5K

So I was planning to run a 5K on March 13th, but we waited too long to sign up for the race, so instead I have to wait until a run that is taking place on April 23rd called the 'Earth Day Run'. So today I went running for the first time in a while ... but I did fine. I ran 'week 7' today which is run 12 mins, walk 3 mins repeat 3 times.  It actually went really well. The only thing that would have made it better is if it hadn't been quite so chilly (although it was warmer than it would have been if I lived back home or something). I will keep you updated on how it goes until the run. I am totally going to get back in the eating better thing as well and soon I will weight even less than I do now! I can't wait to be tinier.
