Just been for my first EVER race.
really proud of actually managing to make it ther and not chickening out as other people would see me running. saw a few family friends which was a bit nervy for me. but
after 3 weeks of training i have managed 5 miles in 45minutes LESS than i hoped :D
so 1hour 1 minute i crossed the finish line, i was RIGHT at the back but that doesn't bother me one bit. was a really good experience and thoroughly enjoyed it, only had music for 5minutes as it went off, forgot to change my socks so i have a blister but its all good i didnt give up. was right at the back with another lady about the same fitness as me, she used me as a pacer for amile and a half then the hills hit and we went 1 and a half together and finished the race.
was really good fun and i am so incredibly proud of myself.
 
that's 12:12 minute mile -that's really good for virtually no training..

ambitious attempting an 8K your first time out..
 
Yeah, was the only short race around me as i wanted to see what its ilke in a race and stuff too.
really happy still buzzing
 
nothing for that one, except the satisfaction of battling my health and a lovely race number. im happy with that. Next race i will have something :p
