A 5K? OK!

Woah it's finally nice to say that after months of training (and several weeks of "rest") I finally was able to run my 5K! I didn't do it as part of a fund-raiser (although I would still like to in the future) mostly because I wouldn't have had a ride. I chose to do it by myself so yesterday when I woke up I thought to myself "Hey, it's either now or never!"

I hadn't run in like a good 10 days and boy did my body notice! It was a rough run, not gonna lie but I'm glad to be able to say that I got through it! And for little old me who doesn't get much physical activity besides walking to work this was definetely an accomplishment. Final time: 31 minutes and 46 seconds. That's roughly 10 minutes per mile which isn't so great but it wasn't a race, just a test to see if I can finish =] Of course I guess I would have been faster if I hadn't stopped to take a snapshot of this guy.

I just can't get enough pictures of wildlife when I'm running! Plus that'll probably be the last time I see one of those guys because I will not be running anymore! It's not going to be a forever thing but once I get back from London (44 hours!!!) and start school I don't know when I'll have time. So I'll enjoy my last warm thigh soreness while it last!

UYL,
Andre
