5K - check!

When boot camp ended a few weeks ago, Valerie, Cheri, and I wanted to continue some kind of workout routine so that we wouldn't lose everything we had worked towards. We decided to sign up for a 5K and have been meeting in the mornings to train over the past couple of weeks. Val and Cheri had both done 5Ks several times before, but this was a first for me. Today was the big day, and my goal was to run the entire thing (3.1 miles) without having to walk. I came very close to doing it, but I must admit I did end up walking a couple of times. We all finished in under 32 minutes, so I was happy with that. We plan on doing a few more 5Ks over the summer, and our goal for the next one is to finish in under 30. Anyone wanna join us? :)

OMG you should totally do it J9! I guarantee you won't come in last.

Remember when we did the L6 walk and accidentally started at the front of the pack, so when they started the race there was a whole mob of people running and we got trapped up in it and we were like, DYING?! ha
