Today I completed my first 5K (3.1 miles) in 33 minutes and 11 seconds. I also finished 3rd for my age group. I honestly am very proud of myself and happy with my results. I set out to at least finish in the top 3 in my age bracket but my overall goal was to finish.

Since I started running 2 weeks ago I have noticed that I have more energy, I sleep better, and overall I feel better. I look forward to going home and doing my run. If I am unable to run I can actually feel the difference and actually get upset.

I look forward to competing in more 5K races, improving my times, and eventually doing a Spartan run later this year.
