Yes, I ran my first ever 5k this morning (I mean first ever, due to the fact that I did it on my own... it wasn't part of school, x-country, etc). Boy, it was tough. The first half was uphill and OMG... I just remembered telling myself, c'mon... you only have to go as far as the orange cone.. then you can turn around. Anyway, I'm just glad I survived it. The great thing is that I did it in 33: 20 or something... around there somewhere. I like sprinted the last 200m and OMG.. I just remembered this nasty tummy feeling as I got closer to the finish line. Anyway, I think I did pretty good, considering the fact that I did go past this one girl who was in front of me almost the entire time (apart from the beginning of the race and the end).. cuz I sprinted past her the last 200 meters. :)
Anyway, I'm just super proud of myself that I did my first race. They give you a ribbon and all w/ the actual event and date printed on it, I think. Oh, I think I mentioned this before, but what's great about this race is that it's right across the street from my house. It was super neat to wake up this morning, walk over there at 8am and register.. then show up 5mins before the rest to sort of get ready for it, join the pack of runners, etc.
Overall, I'm just proud of myself. I think I did fabulous. :)
Btw, just discovered my Nike+ iPod running kit died on me today. Nike+ iPod sucks! I have to take it back and try to get a replacement from the Apple store or get a refund from Amazon where I purchased it. Man, they just suck... seriously, they do.. cuz I've only used it like 9 times! Crazy not-so-cool product, I swear! Ugh! Nike+ iPod totally sucks here. Ahhhhh!!!!
