NWR and AW-First 5k of 2012!

Hey girls.  I just ran my first 5k of the year.  Not only did I beat my goal of finishing under 30 minutes, but I beat my personal best by 2.5 minutes!!  I found a 4-leaf clover while I was stretching, and I tucked it into my laces, so I like to think I had the luck o' the irish on my side.    This is also almost the exact anniversary of my very first 5k, and it's amazing to think how far I've come in just a year (I hated running before...now I'm addicted).  I think my new (and long-term) goal is to be one of those women who's still doing races in their 70's!

Awesome!  I'm going to do my first race this summer, but it's the warrior dash, so I guess it's not a real 5k, but I'm really excited.  That is awesome that you finished in under 30 minutes!

Running is an awesome high.  My dad is pushing 60 and has been running up until the last 2 months because of a stress fracture (dr. told him to stop unless he wanted to be in a cast for the wedding!).  He plans on getting back to it soon, he was just cleared to start cardio again.  I hope that I still have the drive to run like that when I get to be his age.

That's great! I ran my 1st & only 5K last year & it felt amazing. My intention was to run again this May, but the wedding kind of got in the way. Kudos to you for staying on track! <--no pun intended.
