Hi everyone! Tonight I finished my very first 5K ever. It's been a tough year for me physically, as last October I blew out my knee, had knee surgery, then did 3-4 months of physical therapy. So tonight was a big deal for me! I finshed in 48:20, which was a little slower than I wanted, but I finished! The picture below is of me and my Mom after the race. I'm the one in the blue t-shirt on the right. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to running another one soon.
God's and Farmgirl's Blessings,

Thanks April! My aunt and her dad actually just did a sprint triathalon a few weeks ago. One of my goals is to someday train for a marathon, but I think I should get a few more 5Ks under my belt first!

Congrats! I finished my first 5k a couple of years ago. It is such a good feeling! My hubby is a triathlete and keeps all his race bibs, so I do too now and my kids did their first races last summer and have kept theirs. Keep up the good work!!!! Milestones are very important to remember!!!!

Julie, I fully intend on saving my number!
Betty, I definitely was eager to do well with PT! And walking a 12K is a great accomplishment! Good for you:)

Congratulations, Megan. You must have followed through on your PT with flying colors. We have a run in Spokane on Lilac Day that is a 12K. My sons and I both have done this one. Mostly we just walk, but walking for 2+ hours is a hard thing to do. We have been pleased to finish though and even just to get the T-shirt is great.

Megan, you are proof of hard work and perseverance. I kept my number from the one 5k I did. I think your time is great.
