5K in 43:56

So today was the 5K. I must say it was shorter than I thought, running it in 44 minutes, but it was still brutal. It was up at the U. There is this hill south of the library that goes east towards the basketball arena and it was brutal. I only made it up half way to the 1 mile mark and then I had to finish walking up the rest of the way. When I got around one side of the swimming pool I decided to run again, (I should say slowly jog) to the very end. It was so cool. Running is one of those cool sports where you're really only trying to race yourself. "Can I do this?" "Is it really going to hurt too much more, if I just push it?" These were the thoughts running through my head. It was amazing. I'm really proud of my cousin Erin who came too, she is a rock star. No training or anything and she pounded it out. My momma 2 she was awesome too, she totally could have done a 10K and we totally slowed her down. Anyway I'm just really proud of myself for doing it and accomplishing a goal. Next year 10K for anyone who is interested. Love ya.
