Now that that is said...Sunday I completed my first 5k in the Mission Inn Run. I ran the 5K in 32 minutes and 44 seconds which may not sound that great but I am very proud to have done it in that time for my first one. I completed my goal for the day and that was to run the entire 5K without stopping, no matter how much pain I was in or how tired I was. I DID IT!!! That alone makes me so proud, I finished! I finally finished something that I really wanted. I had so much fun and it was such a rush! I absolutely love running, needless to say I am addicted.
Before doing C25K I would always mentally talk myself out of working out or doing anything active by saying I was tired or stressed, or I just had to much to do. But after the program I make time 3-5 times a week to run. It really is my time to clear my head and think about nothing but running and clearing my head of the day's garbage. I cannot wait to do another 5K soon. I am hoping to improve my time much more before I move on to 10Ks, Half-marathons, and full marathons. I don't want to push myself too hard just because I am excited.
So for now I am just going to make myself that much better running a 5K, then I am sure I will have stories to share about my journey towards a 10K, etc. Here are some pictures from the Mission Inn Run I have more to come...
