First 5K

This past Saturday I ran my first race of 2011, it was a 5K out at the Saltair Palace. The distance for a 5K is 3.1 miles and I am proud to say that I ran 2.6 of those miles! My time was 37:30, which doesn't beat my best time for a 5K but it kills my worst 5K time. This was my first run outside for 2011 so I am very proud of myself for doing so well. I was lucky enough to run with my friend Lizzie and we were able to keep a good pace the entire race. 37:30 is my new time to beat for my next 5K and I am excited to work towards that goal! My next race is in 2 weeks and it is going to be a 10K so I need to keep up my running routine!
