My Second 5K

Today I did my second 5K! I was nervous going into it because I haven't been training, I didn't register until this morning, and this was a bigger race than my first one. Thankfully, the weather was very comfortable, it almost felt like fall, and the rain held off until after the race. I didn't get a good look at the course map before the race, I won't make the mistake again. Almost all of the second miles was up hill! I wasn't ready for that. I was feeling pretty happy just to finish the race, then I noticed that I had taken just over 2 minutes off my time! I decided to stick around for the awards ceremony and to my surprise I finished 3rd in my age group! There may have only been four of us, but I'm still happy. I was about to jog almost all of the first mile, that is also an accomplishment for me. I really need to start training again, I enjoy this too much to only run once a month.

I hope everyone has had a great Labor Day weekend!
