Youth Villages 5K

This weekend I completed my first official 5K, the Youth Villages 5K. My New Year's Goal has been accomplished and it is only April! There is plenty of time for a few more races this year. [maybe even one of the 15 flyers for races in the next 2 months left on my winshield]

This is the before shot:

And after with the FINISH LINE behind us:

I did run the whole 3.1 miles through a course with many more hills than my training routes. The two mile mark is always a struggle for me, and I was encouraged that the Collierville Middle School band was playing "We are the Champions" as I passed that point.

My official time was 48:46, which is 30 seconds faster per mile than I have run before!
