Back in February I decided to start running. I found a program online that was a guide to going from a couch potato to running a 5K in 8 weeks. So, I tried to follow it as best I could. Eventually, I lost interest. But when the weather got nice I took to the open road and decided to see how far I could run…
Turns out, not that far.
However, after running fairly consistently, I got myself up to 3 miles (a 5K is 3.1M). As luck would have it, there was a 5K being run right near my house. How great was that? So, I signed up and ran. I did the 5K in 38 min. Not bad for a first timer. I finished 74th out of about 150. Below are some gross photos of the finish line.
