5k!!!

So, ladies & gents! I did it! I ran my first 5k!! It went pretty swimmingly during the run. Though, before the run, this is how my thoughts went: "Seriously, girly, what are you going to wear? It's 30 degrees outside! You never run in these temps. Further, you PAID people to let you run in these cold temperatures!? COME ON!" But once I got there & saw people in shorts, sans leggings, I felt a better.

Now, for the actual racing part! It went super well, in my opinion. I ran for the first 2.5 miles straight, the first 2 miles for sure. I did take a break from running to power walk for a little while, but then I picked it back up and ran all the way to the end. Party on Rockstar!!! Here's the funny/sad part. In my head, a 5k is essentially 3.5 miles, so I assumed the race was...3.5 miles. I finished the race with a time of 34:57 (though I SWEAR the time in person said 34:10. I'll let it go.) Now, you & I know my 3.5 mile time as of late has been right around 38 minutes. To finish UNDER 35!? Crazy effing PANTS! I was a SMITTEN KITTEN! However, later I checked the results and the race was actually only 3.1miles. -_- BOO MISINFORMATION! Honestly, I think I'm just going to pretend that I ran 3.5 miles in 34:10. My life! Long hair, don't care! I'll leave you with a picture. Salud!
