River Bank Run

John and I ran the 5K River Bank Run today. It was freezing cold and rainy but while I was running it felt pretty good. I didn't really train a lot so I was nervous about how I would do. I ended up running about 2.3 miles without stopping but my ankle was hurting so I started walking. Then, after I started running again, I ended up going the wrong way and almost not finishing. But I was determined to cross that darn finish line so I crossed the street, backtracked, found the end of the fence that was past the finish line and started running again from there. I sprinted that last part because I had taken so much time to get there I felt I needed to finish strong...lol. Anyway, the time on the clock was about 42 minutes but the chip time should be lower than that because we started so far back. Even though I went the wrong way I had a really good time running it and want to do another 5K soon. Next year John wants to do the 10K...we have a whole year to train!
