5K success!

So I planned to do the 5K today, but hadn't really trained at all. My training has mostly consisted of junk food and pizza so I had pretty low expectations for how my attempt would go. I fully anticipated walking 75% of it.

Well, there must have been some energy I was stealing from the crowd, because, I RAN THE WHOLE THING!!!! It helped that it was mostly a flat course and I didn't attempt to run very quickly at all. I just kept my 13 or so minute mile pace up and never really felt like stopping.

My only mistake was that I thought I was slightly closer to the end than I thought so I started picking up the pace a bit early. Because of that, for a brief moment I didn't think I'd make it running across the finish line. But I did. And I feel great!

Final time: 39:42!

I was not chip timed for this one because I didn't think I'd actually run the whole thing.

Next goal: 5K in June in St. Paul. Only this one I think I'll actually train for so I can maybe get under 36 minutes.
