5K Survivor...

Well, I survived the 5K yesterday! I don't feel that it was as bad as I expected, considering I haven't had the time to prepare myself beforehand...AND...I've never been in a 5K! It was definitely a long 3.1 miles of walking and sprinting (mainly walking), but made it to the finish line around the 42 minute mark.  The coworker I was with was dealing with allergies so she wasn't in a shape to actually jog the course, so I didn't get left behind.

After the 5K, walking in the parade with the hospital crew and then watching the parade, I went to my parent's house.  I sat down for an extended period of time around 12:30 since arriving for the 5K at 7:10...big mistake...my right leg cramped into a non-bending position.  I ended up downing some water and it finally went away.  My legs are still all sorts of sore...I'm feeling like an old man right about now!

Doing the 5K makes me want to do it again! I'm going that things will slow down a little for me and I can actually train before I decide to participate in another one.  When me and my coworkers, Angela and Jenny, were doing the "running club" last year, I always felt tired but also rejuvenated.

I did take a little victory completion selfie after the sprint to the finish line...
