So I thought that it would never happen, but it did. I took part in my first 5K ever (Insurance Of America 5k), for those of you who don’t know, 5K is three miles. Ya, so three miles isn’t really that big of a deal, I realize that, but for someone who doesn’t really exercise and hates running…that’s huge. My church was getting a group together to enter this race and somehow I let my roommate talk me into doing it. There were over 11,500 people at the race that day. Too any people for me.
Things were pretty crazy leading up to the race and the next thing I knew it was race day. I had no intention on running, but thought that maybe I would run on and off throughout. As I was preparing for the race my time was consistently at 45 minutes. So my goal was to just come in under 45 minutes. My roommate Kim ended up doing the race at the last minute and decided to walk with me, which was great cause she really pushed me. We ended up finishing in 44 minutes…YAY! YAY, for making my goal. I realize that it is only by a minute but I still did it. And BOY was I tired and sore the next day and lucky me, I got to work both jobs the next day.
