This morning I ran my very first 5K!!! As I mentioned in my previous post, my friend Shawna coaxed me into running this race with her...even though I didn't think I was ready to start racing yet.
We met up in Webster for Meaghan's Run, a charity run to benefit lung cancer research. I was so nervous I barely slept last night, and this morning found me antsy and quietly nervous. I was grateful that Shawna was there with me to guide me through the process and provide much-needed moral support. Thanks so much, Shawna!
The race course was mercifully flat and I was able to run much longer/farther than I thought I could. Sure I walked a bit, I knew I would have to, but I finished with a fairly respectable time for someone who has never run a 5K before. I'm so excited and proud of myself...I know it must sound very goofy, but I don't care. It's my blog, I can brag if I want to.
So, when's the next race?!
