I ran, more like jogged my first 5k this past Saturday! Goal was to finish without stopping...check. Next goal was do it under 40 minutes...check (26 minutes 49 seconds!!!). I can not believe how much my life has changed over the past year. A year ago, I could not walk a flight of stairs, and now I have rode a century bike ride and also ran a 5k. Now to find a 10k before the snow flies, maybe next spring.

Congrats!

If you are looking for a race, check out the Holiday ones. There is usually a "Turkey Trot" in most areas, but if snow is an issue it might not work out in your area.

Great job on the race and thanks for sharing the pictures.
