5K

On Saturday I ran my first race. I told my brother in-law Trevor a year ago that I was going to run with him in the Pocatello Marathon Running the Gap. I didn't run the whole marathon 26 miles but I did run a 5K (I'm starting out small). It was a goal that I couldn't let go, probably because I had told so many people what I was going to do. I couldn't not do it after that. My whole goal was to be able to run without walking and finish under about 35 minutes. There were days when I would go running and think how in the heck am I going to do this. It was a great experience and I would do it over and over again.

This was the starting line.

5K time 27 minutes 34 seconds (I couldn't believe it).

I ended up taking 3rd place in my age bracket.
