Mission Accomplished

I had two goals and I met them… and I didn’t even come in last, I actually beat three people! I’d say my first run was a success. I didn’t feel wiped out and my legs feel good. It was a good run (which I needed after one of the most horrible runs I’ve done in a while on Wednesday). I had to continually talk myself down from running too fast. I didn’t go out too fast, actually at the beginning of the race I was dead last. But I quickly past my first two people. The third person was in front of me for most of the race. But about half way through she started to run/walk so I was able to catch up. I eventually passed her about half a mile from the finish.

As I told DH this morning, I’m deceptively slow. I look like I should run faster, but well I don’t. My first goal was to run to the entire thing and my second goal was to finish in under 40 minutes (see I told you I was slow).
