This year, D and I completed the 2012 Sport Chek Mother's Day race! I ran a personal best for a 5K race (I think), which was 41:01.3 minutes. This was pretty good for me, since I have not trained for a race at all! I was hoping to finish in under an hour, so I wouldn't embarrass myself too badly! ;)
This was the FIRST race where I felt like I got bitten by the racing bug and want to do another 5K and try to beat my time!!! :) I did 5 and 1's instead of my normal 10 and 1's. With the 5 minutes, I was able to pace myself better and keep my form in check during my minute walk breaks.
At the end of the race, I found some extra go-juice and pushed myself to the finish! I felt amazing afterwards!!! It was a fantastic race!
Once life gets settled, I'll be looking to get back into it and do another 5K! Gotta find one with a nice, flat course :)
