Part of Weight Watchers Walk-It Challenge was that by the end of the challenge participants would register for a 5K. A few weeks ago I shared with you my experience of running my first 5K and after successfully finishing it I couldn't wait to sign up for my next one, which I ran Sunday.
This time, I ran with my friend Lynette, who just recently began running. She was training at a much faster pace than I run, but would also stop to walk so I figured we would even each other out. We were a great team because she pushed me to run faster as I didn't want to slow her pace and she said I encouraged her to keep running so we could run together and she wouldn't get lost on the course. Although I don't think I'm the one to follow when it comes to staying on course.
Lynette ran her first entire 5K and
I made my goal of completing a 5K in less than 40 minutes
(thanks to hubby who was near the finish line encouraging me to run quicker because I had 45 seconds to meet my goal...I love that guy!)
Awesome pictures! Look at you go. These are so cool. I'm in awe of you.
