I did it!
Ran my first 5K in the rain today. I was real nervous and I almost chicken out but so glad I didn't.
I set three goals for myself: to finish, run the whole thing, and to finish under 32 minutes. Did all three! I finish with the time 30 minutes and 59 sec. I didn't place of course but I was still so excited. My age group was a big one today 40-49 year olds with me being 48 almost 49. So I had to run against some young girls!! lol
Can't wait to do another one but I want to train harder this time.
Thanks everyone for your support!!!
