Turkey Trot and Reindeer Dash 5k's

A first in a series of runs with my uncle :)

The mayor of Ontario ran this with us as well.  Proud to say I beat my time :)

Surf City 5k

Surf City 5k!!

I have completed a 5k obstacle course before, but this is my first time running (or jogging) a full 5k. 

My final time 45:56 minutes for 3.16 miles. 

I got nervous near the end, because I have never jogged beyond 2.5 miles, and so I slowed down.  

Update:  Now that I know I can do a 5k, I am working on getting a faster running time, and pushing towards a 10k.  The other day, I did 3 miles in 42:54 minutes. Slowly, but surely! 

5k coming up!

Another 5k is coming up, and I have been training and able to do more than I have ever been able to do.  I am still not a fast runner, but coming from a place where I couldn't even run a lap, I am doing well.  I can now jog 2 miles without stopping, and theoretically 2.5/3.0 miles.

I went from jogging a very slow 15:22 min/mile, to 14:30 min/mile, to 13:55 min/mile, and  finally to 13:23 today.  Slowly going down.

Nervous and Excited!!!!!
