Today was a very exciting day for me - I ran my first 5K this morning with my fabulous future sister in law Robin. Once again I had to wake up at the crack of dawn (6:00am) since the race started at 8:30am. The event was great and run well and since all proceeds benefit ovarian cancer research and survivors, it definitely was all for a good cause.Since this was my very first 5K and I have not run outside in a very long time, I was not sure how I was going to do and how to pace myself but let me just say - I kicked ass! Robin and I stayed together until the very last mile when she had a pain in her shoulder and needed to walk, but I kept going and ran hard all the way through to the end. Once I was about 100 yards from the finish line I sprinted as fast as I could and I finished in 29 minutes and 30 seconds! I am so proud of myself for how well I did and for finishing in under 30 minutes and Robin did amazing too, finishing in 31 minutes. During the run I burnt 314 calories and I came home ate brunch and then took a long nap so I could be ready for Yoga X since I refuse to miss a work out!
Yoga X went well, though there were some issues with the DVD and had to pause for a second to sort that out. It was a good work out to follow up my run since I got to stretch out, but my achilles tendon on my left foot is sore - OUCH! I am going to ice it and hopefully it will go away.
