Wahoo 5K

I ran my first 5K yesterday. I trained for a couple of months because as you all know, I am not a runner, but I really wanted to be able to run it. That was my only goal...to run the whole thing! And I made it. It was so much fun! I'm already looking for my next race!

I finished in 35 minutes and 21 seconds. My goal for the next race is to beat my own time!
