This past weekend Jon, my dad, and I ran the 5k portion of the Eugene Marathon! I started training for this race at the beginning of February. Besides soccer, I have never been much of a runner. When I started training, I was struggling to get through a .5 mile run. I worked my butt off for the last 3 months and accomplished something I worked hard towards! My goal time for the 5k was 30 minutes and I came in at 29:43. Not bad!
This experience has made me want to run more. It's hard on my body, but it's such an incredible feeling. I had so much fun and I want to do it again. I've been looking at other 5k races in the area, and I'm hoping to do another one in July. Then... I'll start training for a 12k which happens in December. Perhaps I've finally found a hobby!
