My first ever 5K was the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure last October. Which means my first accomplishment this month was being that I had been running and doing races consistently for an entire year. When I ran this race last year I finished somewhere between 32 and 33 mins. This year.... wait for it... I finished in 27:33!! My fastest 5K EVER!
Before this it was 28:27. I did a sub 9 pace. I felt so awesome afterwards. I mean after I sat on the ground for a bit and regained consciousness. & yes my tutu was awesome.
Afterwards I treated myself to a LOVELY breakfast.
My next accomplishment was the Track Shack U Can Finish 5 miler and 2 miler. This race was my first race EVER last year. I only did the 2 mile race last year because let's face it I was scared of doing a 5K. So I went with just 2 miles. Well this year I did the Distance dare. 7 miles. I finished the 5 miler in 46:28. Not too shabby. 9:17 pace. Last year I finished the 2 miler in 19:01. This time I crushed that time even after running 5 miles and finished in 18:29! Pretty proud of myself.
Last accomplishment so far this month is this past Saturday's long run! I ran 11 miles. Sub 10 minute pace. I've never run 11 miles before so I am pretty proud of that.
Next stop 12 miles then before I know it, I'll be at the starting line of my first half marathon. *looks over at the countdown* It's a comin'..
