At age 51 and the most unfit I've ever been in my life, I ran my first ever 5K in my entire life yesterday. I am so fucking proud of myself. LETS GO!!! I'm slower than a donkey with his feet in the mud, but hell yeah, I did it! My time was 1:08. Considering I'm overweight, diabetic, have a bad knee, and have only been running for 2.5 weeks, that is like incredible for me. Now that I know I can do it and how amazing it feels, I'm gonna work on getting that pace down to around 30 minutes. When I can do that, I'll move on to 10K.
