I ran in my first 5k today. I have been nervous about this all week because I've only been training for 2 weeks. It was freezing cold this morning but it was so much fun to be around everyone before the race started. Once they said "go", we were on our way. Luckily, this was a mostly flat course which was helpful. I surprised myself by not getting tired or winded early. I think I ran until just about the half way mark and stopped to get a bit of water. I then ran fully until about mile 2.5 and I walked for about 100 yards or so. At that point, the finish line was in sight and I could hear people cheering. I finished in 37 minutes, 20 seconds. I was 222 out of 459. I'm certainly pleased with that considering it was my very first race! I'm thankful for dear friends and family that were great support! I can't wait to do the next race!!!
