My first 5k!

ran my first 5k yesterday!! I was so nervous because I've been so busy lately that I haven't put in much training. I got up at 6am to go register, got my bib and my ankle chip and was so pumped! I was running wit my cousin, who ran a 5k about 1 month ago. We had a light breakfast, got dressed and headed to the park at about 7:30am. There were about 1500 people there and I was starting to feel nervous. As wel all packed together at the starting line, I told myself that no matter what to be proud of myself, that I could do this! There were so many people around me, a different feeling because I always run by myself!! But my cousin ( who has already run a race ) was right there beside me! Getting to the first mile marker was hard, but after that I was feeling pretty good. My goal was just to finish but I really didn't want to stop to walk. Right before mile 2, I was struggling with my breathing and started to slow down to almost a walk but my cousin grabbed my arm and told me to keep going. We were coming to the finish and there was my sister, her husband, a friend and my boyfriend. My boyfriend came onto the road and started to run beside me. Telling me how proud he was of me, he grabbed my hand and ran the last 50 ft with me. Crossing the finish line with him, it was an amazing feeling. I still have a smile on my face. I am now all relaxed, took a good long shower and can really feel it in my legs! But it was amazing and I wanted to thank everyone here that has supported me in my training. This is honestly of the of the few things that I started, went through with it, and finished it. My unofficial results was just over 39 mins, and I'm very happy about that! I can't wait to run my next one!
