So Saturday, February 16 was my 2nd 5K run. It was held at the same place I ran my first 5K, so I was familiar with the area. The race turn out was a lot bigger and there were people of all fitness types running. The race started later than usual because of the traffic into the park, so instead of a 7am start, the race started around 7:15am. I finished the race in 35:28, which was a better time than my first time, but not much better. I didn’t really have any high expectations as far as my time went, but was more focused on finishing. I came 19th place in my age group.
My overall thoughts of the race - it was definitely tough, and I regret not running more beforehand, but I definitely enjoyed the experience. I plan to keep the running going and run for another 5K next month.
