My Second 5K Was a Success!

I successfully finished the Clean Air 5K

at McAlpine Creek Park!

I'm still a slowpoke (this was only my second 5K), but I improved my previous time, so I'm happy. When I ran the Komen 5K in October, my time was 39 minutes, Wednesday when Ken and I ran the 5K trail at McAlpine, we did it in 38:30, and today my time was 35:51.

I was #92 out of 97 in my age group, so at least I wasn't last! Next year I'll move up to the 50's age group, so hopefully that will give me a little more advantage...?? Thanks to all my friends for the words of encouragement, and thanks to Ken for running by my side the whole time!
 
After the race, Ken reminded me that 1 year ago, there is no way that I could have done something like this.  He told me how proud of me he is, and for once, I'm actually proud of myself, too!
