first 5k!


ran my first "official" 5k today. wasn't expecting the 2 hills (i purposely avoid hills, but now know that i should probably include them), and overall it felt a lot harder than expected, but it's probably because i was running a bit faster than i usually start out.
overall, my time was 32:something. officially it says 33:49, but i know if finished in the 30's, making it a 10:30 mile. not terrible, but not terrific. i'd love to get below 30 minutes in the next year, but for my first race ever, i was happy to have the experience. hopefully i'll get a little better time in a few weeks when i run my next 5k (and then again in december when i run my third!).
