First Race

I signed up for a 5K last month.....and this morning decided to do the 10K (6.2 miles)! I finished in 1 hour 18 minutes......and yes...I did finish last....but I FINISHED!!!! The most I had run until today was 5.6 miles. I still have a long way to go before the 1/2 marathon in Jan....but its a start..... I am blaming my last place status on the hill (ran up AND down it 4 times), running on grass and sand, running without my ipod.....and oh yeah....the fact that I had RPAO!!! My hips, knees and ankle are now soaking in the cryoderm..... :)
