My 2nd 5K Run
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.
Check out some pictures in the set here.

Congratulations on the runs you’ve completed so far. I’ve been getting quite good at running on the treadmills recently and also used to be pretty nifty at cross country in my school days. However, I’ve not yet taken the plunge and entered myself for a proper, outdoor run. Definitely something I need to do this year.
