Done, completed, finished. I did it! Completed my first ever 5K on Saturday with a finish time of 30 minutes even. It was MISERABLE. Running wasn't hard, it was the rain and rain and more rain. It poured! I guess I should have done a practice run in the rain. I was not ready for it at all. Water sneaked down my headphones directly in to my ear canal. Very unpleasant.
Complaining aside, I was very proud of myself. I ran the entire race (my biggest fear was having to walk) and didn't finish last. Goal accomplished. But, now I have running fever. Meaning I want to sign up for another race. I'd like to do another 5K and then start training for a 10K. I mean, why not? I would also like to take swim lessons...yes, swim lessons, so I can try a triathlon. I am terrified of open water but am thinking if I can learn to swim and conquer an open water swim, I can eliminate a fear. Again, why not? So, we'll see what I can find as far as my next running adventure. Let's hope it isn't raining then too.
Pictures? Where are the pictures for proof? Well, I am the one behind the camera so I don't have any proof. I can tell you that I wore a sweet #399 bib and looked like a drowned rat by the end. Use your imagination.
