I did it! I finished the race! My time ended up being 51:09. It's not as good as I was hoping for, but I guess that gives me something to beat for next year. I've been trying to get myself to do something longer than a 5k for a while, and I'm glad I finally got it out of the way.

The weather was actually a lot nicer than I had expected it would be. The heat and humidity held off until the afternoon, so that made it a lot more bearable. I didn't sleep well at all the night before, so that probably contributed to my time not being as good as I hoped.

But, I'm really glad I did it, and I'll hopefully be doing it again next year.

For your enjoyment, here's the least attractive race pic ever!

My dad tried to get a picture of me crossing the finish, but someone stepped right in front of him as he was about to take it. So, here's the post race pic:

Thanks for the motivation, guys! I'm going to keep running, and hopefully increase my distance!
