I Ran a 5K!

Over the summer, I decided I'd like to start running.  So I bought a treadmill on Craigslist and downloaded the Couch to 5K app for my phone and got started.  I never thought I'd actually get to a 5k though.  I'm not athletic and I never have been, and I usually don't finish things like this when I start them.  But, against all the odds, I finished this race.  I signed up and ran a 5k at the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure in Hunt Valley, Maryland.  My time was 41 minutes and 38 seconds and my fastest mile was about a 12 minute mile, according to my Nike Run app.  That's actually the fastest I've ever ran.  I know that's not super impressive time, but I'm happy with it.  Honestly, I'm just happy I finished because ultimately, that was my goal.  Anyway, here are some pictures:
