Halloween Hustle 5k - My FIRST 5k Evah!

Goal Time: 40 minutes 

Actual Time: 35 minutes 52 seconds

I thought that I would go back and post about my first 5k, b/c it's what started me on this journey. 

It was on October 31, 2010. It was called the Halloween Hustle 5k. 

Like I mentioned in my first post, my goal was to run the 5k in 45 minutes. I did a practice run with Positive A the Friday before the race, and I ran it in 39 minutes. I had ALREADY beaten my goal. Time for a new one! I set my new goal at 40 minutes. Even though I had beaten that one as well on my practice run, I wanted to set something that I knew I could meet. 

I actually ran the whole thing, which surprised me.

Here are some pictures from the event.

Sweaty, but smiling after we crossed the finish line!
