Finished my first ever 5k race tonight!I wont know my time until it is posted (forgot to look at the clock when I crossed the finish line) in a few days. But it doesnt matter. I am happy I ran the entire race. I did make the rookie mistake of running faster than my normal pace at the start. It might not seem like a big deal to most people (it is "only" three miles....) but I started running this summer so it had a big impact on me. When I saw the 2 mile marker and already felt worse than after my normal three mile runs... well, there was one brief thought of "I could just call it quits and be happy I just showed up." But I kept going.
Celebrated with a big bacon and bleu cheese burger with fries. Very yummy.
eta: 32:31 was my time. I expected to be around the 35 min mark so this makes me happy. Next time I will try for sub-30.
