Race On

Today I ran my first official 5K. Last night, my father told me about one at the island he has been painting a house on. With little training in that distance or expectations, I decided I would go for it. It was two laps around the island. There were about twenty other runners and a bunch of walkers going one lap around the island. I ran until it hurt and then ran some more until I crossed the finish line. I ended up finishing in 19 minutes and 16 seconds and was second place overall. Not too bad.
