Hi ladies! I ran my first timed 5k since high school cross country (sophomore year). I'm so proud and wanted to share! Ran DC's 2014 Komen Race for the Cure with a bunch of colleagues to support our co-worker.
Today I ran a 28:30 which is only about 3 minutes slower than my high school self (not really fast at the distances, more a 400meter girl). But still, very proud that I broke 30, which was my goal

Now I am off to date night with H, where I will be enjoying some post-race mexican food & margaritas.

(BTW...I intro'd myself here a few weeks ago and have been largely lurking for inspiration and tips, you guys seriously rock.)

Aww thank you

Those crazy dogs are part of the reason I took up running. They are good running partners!

Ha, I was going to suggest that you buy a new pair of shoes whenever you break your HS time

DONE! I will have to spend time tomorrow looking in my old files downstairs to confirm the record. I love the way you think, girl!

Agreed, 5K's are evil, you just start to get in the groove and it's over.

Very nice job!
