I ran a 5K on Saturday as a part of I Love Burnsville week.

It was a beautiful day for a run. I ran with my friend Sara’s husband. It was the first time we had ever run together and I didn’t pace myself, just kept up with him.  Around mile 2, I had to stop and walk.  I was bummed, because I felt pretty good up to that point and I thought I was ready for this race.

So we walked for about 1/3 of a mile.  And then ran the rest, and still finished in around 31 minutes.  Then I didn’t feel bad. That was my pace when I ran my last 5K late last summer.  Next time though I’d like to run it straight through… and yes there will be a next time. I’m liking this running stuff.
