My first 5K

Well, I decided that I needed to get into better shape for this elk hunt. So I stated running every other day. I kind of slacked off to much during May and June, but picked it back up in July. I have been feeling pretty good so I decided to try my first 5K race. It was the annual Gary's shoes 5K.



I did better than I thought I would. I finished 3rd in my age division, and ran a 9 minute mile. It was actually pretty fun. I wasn't thinking that as I crossed the finish line, and I probably wont be saying that in the morning, but I am glad I pushed myself to do it.
