I am proud of myself, my goal was to do it in under 32 minutes. They did not give out official times yet (they will on Monday) but I know my time was a little over 31 minutes. My best friend took a pic as I was finishing and the clock says 31:08. Overall, I felt good about the run, I slowed down big time on the 3rd mile so I have to work on that in my training.

That's awesome! Keep up the good work, the more you run & train the better your times will get... and before you know it you'll be faster than you think you could ever be!!
