First Race


Ok, so 8 weeks into a "10 week till your first 5k" I decided to run my first race. Or should I say the 25 mph winds, rain and near freezing temps for the Redbud Classic bike ride promted me to hit the 5k the next day when the weather was closer to 70 degrees. I was pretty nervous because I hadn't yet run 3 miles at any kind of race pace. Wish I would have done much sooner. With over 5000 runners I could have floated through 5k on the excitement in the air. Overall a great event. Unfortunately I left my chip at home AND forgot to stop my watch as I crossed the finish line so I don't have an exact finish time but had a blast anyway!
