Sunday, Jan 11 2009 - First 5K Race Results
View ROCKMOM2's food & exercise for this day
I came in 134 out of 194 Female Runners.
I came in 20 out of 30 Females in the 45-49 Division.
My time was: 37:21
My pace was: 12:03
I posted photos on my blog yesterday...They really explain how I felt more than anything else! Sort of the old, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Had to add another photo to today:
Hubby got me this hat at the race...I went with a bare head...cold weather requires hats, who knew? At the end of the race they gave us all new beanies...black ones, I have it on in the last photo on the page from yesterday.
My next race is April 25th - THE HOUND DOG HUSTLE
Who is with me...find a race in your area and sign up...you can walk it if you don't want to or haven't worked up to running!
LV U ALL!

I have been wanting to do a 5K race since I started running 2 years ago! I am too wimpy to register for one
:$ Congratulations, it looks like you had a great time!! & while I don't know about a hat, I definitely agree that ear coverage is necessary when running outside in cold weather! =)

You ROCK! I am SO proud of you! I need to start looking for a 5K! I'm thinking April would be a good time to aim for. I'm not sure how to go about finding a race in my area. I guess I'll start by looking online and see where that leads me! I'm gonna go check out your pics now!!
