First 5K

This post should really be titled "First and Last 5K", but I DID IT! I really didn't think I had it in me to run 3 miles since I don't enjoy running much at all. I feel good after I do it and it helped me lose weight recently, but it's not fun. Anyway, I am really proud of myself. I ran it in 33 minutes. I just didn't want to come in last :) Brad ran it also and did it in 23 minutes! The only preparation Brad really had was playing soccer one night a week. Good job, Brad! My sister, Denise (the marathoner) ran it with me at turtle speed to keep me going. She carried my water bottle and all! She was very supportive and I never would have ran the whole thing if she wasn't next to me telling me I could do it. You'll make a great personal trainer, Denise! Well, after thinking about it for 4 months, it's finally over! My knee and hip are killing me (there were quite a few hills on this route), but I feel great!!!
