5K Race!

image

This morning I ran a 5K race.  It was fun to do it with some friends: Ashley Hill and Becky Trimble were running too!  I have been running since about the fall of 2008 when my brother-in-law Paul Handly encouraged everyone to run a 5K Turkey Trot in Arizona.  Today I set a personal record and came in at 21:08!  I am really excited!  My goal was to do 7 minute miles and I would have been happy with under 22 minutes.  So I blew that out of the water!  I just wished I would have shaved another 9 seconds off my time... I just wasn't paying enough attention to shave off more time during the run.  I was worried I would run too fast and burn out at the end, but I could have gone a little faster (not much) and 9 seconds would have been doable.


Anyways, I told people I was going to do a 5K for my birthday.  And I did.
