Ran a 5k race this morning!

It was just a little local one, benefiting one of the local food banks for hungry kiddos.

I started out running next to someone who I thought looked faster and more experienced than me (book, cover, I know) and thought, "aw yeah I'll pace with this person for a while, gonna be great." Got through the first mile and my GPS let me know that my pace was a full 45 seconds slower than I wanted it to be.

Shit!

So I took off and left my mile one buddy behind. Because of my slow first mile, I didn't meat my goal of beating my old PR, but I did get 2nd place in my age group. Got a medal, which was nice.
