8K

Last year I began running regularly with my friend Jen. I always envisioned myself as more athletic, but a vision and reality are two very different things.
Last year we participated in The Shamrock Run 5K race. I was amazed that I could do it (albeit I stopped and took a breather a couple of times). This year Jen convinced me that we could do the 8K (about 5 miles). I have been very skeptical, in fact for the last 2 months considered on more than one occasion to change it back to the 5K. I had never in my life ran 5 miles. Not once.
On Sunday March 14th, I ran an 8K in 54 Minutes (and this year did not stop once). I'm so proud of this accomplishment, I went straight out and had myself a bloody mary to celebrate.
