In 48 hours I will have completed my first 5K race, running the entire thing! I can't believe it! 12 weeks ago I'd laugh at you if you said this was possible. That I could actually do this!
This past week I went out with friends and we completed our homework. I was able to preview the race route with my favorite mentor, Pina and new friend Tanya. We ended up turning down the wrong street and when all was said and done, we ran 3.4 miles. So crazy! That was a personal record for being the longest distance I've ran without stopping to date.
The sun was shining, and the end felt absolutely amazing. I'm glad I was able to preview the course so I wouldn't be so anxious the day of the race. Even though I am confident I can run the distance of a 5k, doing it on Wednesday with friends eased any worries.
I really can't believe how far I've come in such a short time. I remember the day we previewed the race course. It was the day of the St.Patty's day race. We were walking longer than running. It doesn't seem that long ago but the amount of progress everyone in No Boundaries has made is just awesome!
I'm so excited for Sunday and know that this will be something I'll always remember!! I'm READY!
