why wait for the huge ones? celebrate every little victory in your day.
a recent one for me:
i ran my first race this past weekend, a 5K benefiting the university of wisconsin alumni association. the professor nudged me into it, saying it would be a great "test run" (ha!) for the detroit free press marathon 5K for which i've been training since august - and is next week!
i figured he was right, so i registered and joined him at the starting line. we jokingly said that we would run together... yeah, 'cause novice-me can keep up with 6-minute-mile him!!!
in any case, my goals were to NOT WALK and to finish in under 34 minutes, and i accomplished BOTH! there were over 1,100 participants, and i finished 450 overall, and 17th in my age group (30-34 year olds) with a time of 30:52!!
yay, me!!
