Rewind: January 5K

I did the Hot Chocolate Run with Christina. This was my first 5K ever and boy did I learn things!
1. Make sure your pants are not to long.
2. You might need to do a little training before doing a 5k.
3. It is fun to do a 5k!

The run was in Addison. It was a cold wet January morning let me tell you. It was really hard to get my sorry bum out of bed but boy I am glad I did!

The course was not a bad one! There was only 1 hill going each way and it was not that crowded so running was an option. Since I am writing this late I am not sure on the official time but it was around 45ish minutes. Not to awful for a first time with no training.

Now by the time I finished the race my pants were soaked from the knees down, as were my socks and shoes. (aka to lesson 1.) My hips were killing me (aka lesson 2) and I had a blast! I was ready to do another one right there!! (aka lesson 3)

I came home and took a hot bath followed by a nap! It was a great experience and one I am looking forward to doing more of!
