I am SO pumped right now!! I have always wanted to run a 5K race in under 30 minutes. It's been a goal of mine for YEARS. It's on my Bucket List. I have been working hard the past few weeks on improving my speed, and it paid off!
I DID IT!!!
This morning was the Great Pumpkin 5K at Wheeler Farm. I ran it in 27:22!!! I hit it out of the park!! (It was actually 2.96 miles, which is annoying!) I ran the whole thing with Nate's sister, Missy. She paced me really well. I hope we can run more races together! I also got to meet the beautiful Ashley Allen, who I have been friends with via our blogs/fb for a few years now.
My Garmin was also a HUGE factor in my speed. I was able to see exactly how fast I was running. Best money I've ever spent. I love my Garmin! The other good thing about today's race was the course. It was flat and so beautiful. I hope they have a race here every year.
It's fun for me to see how far I have come in 6 months with running. Especially when I remember this post. I accomplished both of the goals I set back then!! On to my next goals! Now I can ease up on the 5K's a bit and start working towards some 10K's and hopefully a half marathon in 2013!
