I feel AMAZING! I finished in 41:57, which was faster than my 45 minute goal! Since I've only done the entire 3.1 miles ONCE before that (and on a treadmill!) and it took over 45, I thought that it was a good goal. I was so unbelievably happy with it, especially since I didn't even push myself as hard as I could have because I was worried about pacing myself. I'm going to do as many 5Ks as I can this summer. I am seriously so excited!
YAY! I'm so happy for you! I didn't realize it took you longer to do the 3.1 on the treadmill... thats awesome that you finished in the time you did. I am convinced that being out there with so many people makes it easier mentally, and translates to a better time.
ReplyDeleteI've gone out a few times on my own to run 1.5 miles, and I couldn't get my pace anywhere near where it was for this 5k without feeling like I was dying. But the stars aligned for this one, because my pace ended up being my fastest pace EVER since I started running!
I'm really glad that you enjoyed yourself, and I'm glad I nagged everyone into it, and I'm also glad that you want to do more!! :)
