Well I did not make my hoped for time of 45 minutes but I did finish it in 49 minutes, so that's pretty darn close. I shaved 6 minutes of my fastest treadmill time, yet I ran less than I previously have when doing a 5k on a treadmill. Still trying to figure that one out, haha. I was actually a little disappointed that I could not run more. But this was the first time I have ever run outside, in full view of others. Up to that point, I've been feeling self conscious and shying away from it. I'm feeling more motivated now. I guess if I can run in front of a few hundred people, I can certainly run around in my neighborhood.
My legs (hip flexors) are sore today but I'm feeling motivated to get back into a regular running program and hopefully do another 5k in October.
Bonus: I'm 91 lbs down today.
