The journey from fat to fit. Road trip, woo hoo!

I beat my best time and my goal for the day SIGNIFICANTLY and am so excited about that!  I ran the 5k in 35 minutes and 52 seconds.  My goal was to be under 39 minutes!  I came in fourth for women my age (40-44).  I am so stoked!

I started out too fast and knew I was not going to last at that pace, but I was caught up in the momentum of the group.  I hit the one mile mark at 10:08.  A freaking 10 minute mile… for me!  Unheard of.  I hit the two mile mark at 21:15… so a second mile also way above my average time.  By then I was getting tired, and we hit some hills, so I lapsed into a much slower jogging pace.  And then, before I knew it, the race was over! 

So my average pace was under a 12 minute mile, and I couldn’t be happier with that.
