Personal "First"

On Saturday I ran my first 5K race. Yes, the original couch potato got out and ran 3.1 miles. Hard to believe. AND, I only stopped for a couple very brief periods of walking (you can tell Mom was right there by my side pushing, huh?). You know what? I didn't finish last like I had all those bad dreams about. I finished in a little over 36 minutes.

I'm kind of proud of myself.

It's no Ironman like mom did, but it was an accomplishment for me. Now I'm trying to pick my next race. The goal will be UNDER 36 minutes!!

That's AWESOME! I've never done a race, but I think that's what I would start with. A 5K. I want to do a triatholon someday...maybe after babies.
