I officially survived my first 5K (3.1 miles!)! On Saturday, 09/15, I ran (well, more of a run/walk combo) in the Bloomingfoods 5K around campus and the city of Bloomington. Our neighbor, Christan, is an avid runner and ran in the race as well (she took the photo of me finishing - that's me in the black capris & white shirt above) - she's awesome and actually runs 1/2 marathons! Though it started out a brisk 46 degrees at race time on Saturday, it turned out to be a great day for running! I finished with a time of 38 minutes & 57 seconds and was very happy with my time - I said if I finished in under 40 minutes, I'd be happy! I've even gotten inspired to run some additional races this fall....who would've guessed? :) Kudos to Tristan, and our friend Mike who was visiting us for the weekend (from Louisville) for getting up and cheering me & Christan on at 8:30 a.m. during the first 1/2 mile of the race - what a surprise to run by the courthouse and see them standing there clapping for us!
