Gotta Start Somewhere

Well I did it. Yesterday with a wonderful friend of mine I ran the LUVMUD 5K benefiting Habitat for Hope. MY FIRST 5K. This was more of a fun run 5K which was perfect for me. I was essentially using this 5K to see what my weaknesses were and what to improve upon. Special thanks go to my wonderful friend I ran it with (well half walked) for coaching me and helping me through and pushing me. I am so grateful. This wasn't an ordinary 5K.  Lots of mud, lots of obstacles. AWESOMENESS!!! It was a great experience, one I wouldn't trade for anything. I now know what I need to work on when I run in my weekly life and what to strive for in my goal setting. My time wasn't perfect but you gotta start somewhere right. I was just focused on finishing and finish I did, covered in mud, soap, grass, dirt. It was such great fun, a great way to start my 5K running experience. Now to train for the St. Jude 5K and possibly one in November :)
