Shape Up Somerville 5k
On Sunday, September 30th, I completed my first 5k ever. Joe and I shaved four minutes off our practice time and crossed the finish line at 34 minutes. That works out to be just over a 10 minute mile, which I am extremely excited about! Yes, I had to walk a little bit here and there, but for short durations and we still finished in what I consider excellent time. Oh, and we didn't finish last, so that was good too... did I mention that we passed some skinny people? That also felt good. We were beaten by a speed walker and an 87 year old looking couple (who were previous boston marathon runners). But overall, I was really quite proud to compete, finish, and not come in last! We ran this route: http://www.shapeupsomerville5k.org/Map.html and made it up all the hills, even the long, gradual one that I was afraid of!
I am so proud of Joe for his effort and incredible progress since March.
We definitely couldn't have done this without each other!

We totally rule. Next year we finish (a) without walking and (b) under 30 minutes. :)
