the 5k

I thought we took pics...found 'em :) This was the 5k the kids and I participated in back in April, I think it was. It was at the school and I had the privilege of running with Kortlan...bless his sweet little heart. He tried so hard to get through that first mile...but towards the end I was practically dragging him. The girls took off right at the first and were way ahead of us, but we made it to the mile marker. The kids stayed there and I took on the rest of the run alone. I had never done that before...hardly ever run anywhere, for anything...it hurts. It hurts my legs (actually they go numb), my neck and most of all my lungs. I know this is because I am so out of shape and so I guess I did this to punish myself...lol...no to prove to myself that I could do it. I finished with a time of 42 and like 15 seconds or something like that. Jim figured I could have shaved of 10-15 minutes if I hadn't done the first mile in 25 min. Regardless, I accomplished something I never thought I could do. I don't think I will be entering anymore 5k's in the near future, but definitely something I would like to do again...just after much training and hopefully with my body in better shape.
