Third time’s the charm

26 Jun

I’m happy to report that I ran a 5K in under 30 minutes for the first time yesterday. It was my third race, and a new personal best. Progress!

 

Feels like the first time

I ran my first-ever 5K road race this weekend. I finished above the middle of the pack overall, and third in my gender/age group. I also clocked a better time than I’ve ever managed while training. I’ve never done any competitive distance running; in fact, I just took up running on a semi-regular basis last fall. I feel good about it, although, of course, I’d like to be faster. Maybe next time…
