Happy Thanksgiving!! I am thankful for so much!! My family, boyfriend,friends, a job, my health and all the support and love in my life. I got up early this morning and headed downtown to run the 5k I have only missed it once in 6 years, and that was due to injury. This one is always competitive and loads of fun. I haven't been doing any workouts just normal runs so I wasn't expecting anything fast. I took off and felt great. Ran with a current usi runner and our pace just clicked. Mile 1: 6:00 went through 2 miles in 12:00 and finished 5k at 18:51. I got a little weak a half mile to go but got it back. I ended up in second by 3 seconds. I am happy with it though, still a long way to go but it's progress. No pain is what I'm happiest about. Did a little over a mile warm up and then did an up paced 2.5 mile cool down. Now it's time to feast!! Thanksgiving at my moms side at noon then fire station at 4:00. Great day!!!
