I did it! I ran my first race today. What a rush! I didn't even come close to winning any medals (actually, my coach and her family swept the podium very nicely of them) but I met the goals I set out for myself:
- I ran the whole way without stopping.
- I didn't come in last.
- I ran the race in under 40 minutes.
Crossing the finish line with friends, family, and strangers cheering is SUCH a rush. I also felt very badass running in the middle of busy intersections with police stopping traffic for me. I just had so much fun and I am so glad I decided to do this.
I posted a time of 37:16, which I am going to be proud of considering I only started training 10 weeks ago.
Hopefully next year hubs won't be too busy keeping three kids under control to take a picture of me crossing the finish line for the 10K.
