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.
