LoveJoy 5K

Today was my last meeting of my running group. Today was the benchmark run so we took part in the LoveJoy 5K.

It was a beautiful day for a run! The temp was down, down right cold when you were not running, but once the run started it was amazing! The sun was shining and the wind was blowing.

I was excited and concerned all at the same time. I had not been training this past week thanks to overdoing it at the Thrill of the Grill and Heels and Hills in the same weekend. I really wanted to do well in this race so I just took it easy and hoped for the best!

I was on my own this race so I put my earphones in and started my new play list, thanks to jog.fm. The gun went off and off I went! I wont say it was super easy but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I jammed to my music while trying to ignore the pain in my calves and left ankle. I will say that I did walk a couple of times but not even a full minute each time.

I think I came in under my time at Thrill of The Grill. I am waiting on results to be posted.

I will say this, it is amazing to know that I can do it on my own! Knowing that I can get dressed and go run 3 miles is empowering to me!
