You may remember that last week I posted saying I was going to compete in my first 5K on St. Patrick's Day. I'm happy to announce that I not only survived the race, I also beat my anticipated time of 55 minutes to finish. I finished in 47:02, and ... I was not the last one to cross the finish line. I wasn't even the last one in my age group to finish! There were only a few people who finished after me, but I'm so proud of my successful endeavor. I think I'm hooked! My next goal is to finish under 45 minutes ... and not come in last place. Some day, I'll be able to run the entire distance non-stop and have a competitive time stamp. Until then, I'm thrilled with simply being able to finish the race and not come in last place!
