Today I ran my first 5k! Very exciting. I mean, I've run 5k before, but not A 5k with scoring and such.
I did pretty well--finished around the middle of the pack, in the bottom 50% but not by much. Official time is 32:50. I cut a bunch of time off my usual total time and my per-mile average. The race raised money for a local women's shelter, too, which was good. Some of the people in it were seriously awesome; there was a 90-year-old woman and the lady who won the walkers' group (which started the course three minutes after the runners) had a time that beat me by a little bit. That's some serious walking.
I'm pretty pleased. Will definitely run another sometime.
