My First (Tiny) Race

IMG_8670.JPG

Today I ran my first official race…ever! Granted, it was a baby race. Just a 5k. But I had a great time doing it, jogged the whole way and came in at a respectable 33 minutes. I feel confident I lost about 3 minutes to crowds and congestion (understandable given that 17k women ran the race!) on the course, but overall it was a really enjoyable experience that I would willingly repeat.

Maybe G’s running habit has rubbed off on me afterall? Hmmm…if only I could also snag his uber fast metabolism :)

Maybe I’ll make good on my promise and run the Bath Half with G next year. Any volunteers to take pictures…and go to the spa after? :)

    Kim,

    Congrats, any race is an accomplishment! I still often think of you when I’m running, wishing to have a running partner, and to be running on the beach again! That was so much fun, it is still very tempting to do the Bath 1/2 with you!

    It is exciting to hear about your 5K race. I agree that any race is an accomplishment. Good for you! Enjoy the experience.
