Eureka - Ran My First 5K Race

The race was much harder than I anticipated and I walked a lot, but I finished the race in 36 minutes and my pace was 11:37. I'm happy with it and can't wait to run the next one. I didn't run much the week before the race and I pigged out all weekend so now it's back to the "good" diet and the morning three mile run. I will begin working towards the 10K race, but I don't need to run one this year. I need to stick with the 5K race until I can complete it without stopping.
