Today I ran my first 5k ever. It was the “Quest for the Crest”, supporting Crest Disease and Scleroderma (Info link). To be honest, I barely trained, I maybe went out to run/walk 4 times in the past few weeks, but I still did it. My total time was 34:04. I got a burst of energy just as I rounded the final corner to the finish line, and sprinted in. Bonita and my little brother also did it, and they somehow both ended up getting medals Bonita got first place for walkers in the Female 20-29 category, and Aaron got second place in the Male 0-19 walkers category. Rob and Rory’s time was very close in the 27 minute-ish range, but I don’t remember exactly.

All in all I had a great time doing it, and I think I would like to actually train for one now. Since I have a beginning time, the only place to go now is faster!
