Big Runner

So, in my last post I indicated that St. Paddy's day would get its due...unfortunately, I took absolutely zero pictures of my little nugget in his shamrock gear BUT I did run (the whole way!!) and complete a 5K last Saturday! I made it a goal to train for a 5K about 7 weeks ago so I found a training calendar online and got to it. I decided the St. Paddy's Day 5K would be my best bet because it was FLAT! :) I am not a runner so I was a little worried about completing this race without walking...especially since I hadn't actually run 3.1 miles yet. But, I did it! I was super slow but finished without walking so I was happy. Sweet Reed gave up the opportunity to actually race it and he ran with me. It was great having him run beside me and encourage me to keep going. With all that being said, I finished in 36:06 with a pace of 11:39 per mile....told you I was SLOW! Now, on to working on getting faster so hopefully sweet Reed won't have to be bored when he's running with me next time! :) See the race results below:
