I ran my first 5k race last night!



It was the Minneapolis Aquatennial Torchlight 5k. It kicks off the torchlight parade - an annual tradition of celebrating summer and the lakes in Minneapolis.

And I wasn't the last one across the finish line! woot!

I'm now training for my first 10 mile race in October.

I actually gave that bag to a friend to hold.


And thanks! I'm pretty pleased! 4 months ago I couldn't run 2 blocks. I'm very happy with my progress.

Good job!

Races are always so motivating. I got way out of running compared to my 20's, but there is a 12k here that I run almost every year, and with all the people & new scenery it gets me through what would normally be too far for me.

I run 5k on my own all the time, but this was definitely my fastest time. It makes a big difference running with that many people and such.

Don't worry about being slow! You're only racing against yourself, so it will be cool to see how your time will gradually get lower and lower woot!
If you will, so will I

That part is slow too. It's 30 pounds since mid-March. But it's steady and I'm definitely doing it in a way that works long-term. So far, so good.
