First run was around 1.5 miles at like 15 min pace 
I kept at it, and found that I really enjoyed it, especially when you can see yourself improving. Then in February, I started running with groups and found that even more fun. Last weekend, I ran my first official race (just 5k) and did a 24:28. Not only was it my PB, but it was also enough to place me 3rd in my age group.
So yea, considered me hooked. I absolutely love the camaraderie as well, there's nothing like it. Currently running 4 days a week, with an 8k race in mid June, and 10k on Labor Day weekend. Can't wait. |
Nice! Love hearing this stuff.
