I did it!!
First of all, thank you all sooo much for your encouragement and support! It means a lot to me!
So, here are the highlights:
They announced the route in the paper yesterday, so DH and I rode to the area to check it out. Good thing, because I was able to see that I'd be dealing with 2 really big hills, and i've never really run hills before. I decided then and there that i was going to walk the hills, and that would be okay.
This morning, with the temperature in the HIGH 40's, i went back and forth many times about what i'd wear -- many things with me, and ultimately ended up with something I was happy with (and planned on giving one layer to DH at the half way point). So that all worked well.
It wasn't a big race (less than 100 people total of runners and walkers). I registered as a runner. I did not come in last.
I beat the 83 year old man. By about a minute.
I beat all the walkers. That's good.
But, the good news was that, not only did I finish (which really could have been touch and go at some points) but I beat my "goal" (dream?) of coming in under 45 minutes. Okay, I didn't beat it by much, but I did it!
So, we can cross off "finish a 5k before the end of my diet and I turn 40" the list of big goals for this year!
Thanks again, everyone!
Re: I did it!!
You are so inspiring Kathy! I'm so proud of the fact that you have set these HUGE goals and you have seriously worked your behind off to achieve them. Even when you have a setback or a disappointment, you still look at all the positive and continue on.
Congratulations on your first 5k!! Are you going to do another one?
