It was a fun time, and it was made more fun just because there were so many people there that we knew and they were cheering us on!
For this being our first race, I think we both pretty much rocked it! Jeff especially! He is a natural runner!! He had a goal of wanting to run it in under a 9 min mile and he crushed that by running about 8:20 min/mile! Chip time of 25:49 He came in 15th out of 56 in our age group and he finished 99 overall with 783 runners!! Top 100 baby!!
During most of my training I was running an average of a 12 min/mile. I was still doing a run/walk combo until my last training run. The Wednesday before the race I tried to run my first 5K with no walking and I did it and my pace was about 11:50. as for the race I ran somewhere between an average of 10:16 - 10:30 min/mile! Woo Hoo!! I guess it does help to run with others! I can't believe I ran that much faster! As for my results I was 29th out of 72 for my age group (in the top half!!!) and was 399 out of the 783 (almost top half) Very Happy!!! My chip time was 32:38.
Our next race is June 16th and that will be a 10K!!
