October 3rd, 2010! Today marks the day that I attempted and FINISHED my first real race ever (if the CIBC Run for the Cure counts as a race??). Actually, I don't really know whether the CIBC run is more of a charity run or an actual race race too? But anyhow, that's besides the point because the point is, I RAN 5K AND FINISHED IT WITHIN 35 minutes!!! Originally I thought it was going to take me a full hour and my goal was actually to finished within 45 minutes. SOOOOO not only did I finished it within an hour, but I finished with the time of 35, meaning 7 minutes per 1K. Not bad for the first race without training or running since... ever!
I do admit it was a bit of a struggle at the beginning to get myself going though. But I think the strong mind pushed through and kept me going till the end! Especially props to my cousin for making me chase him (which helped keep me running!). Kodos to Andrea Lam also for impulsively signing up with me! Cheers to a successful first real run! I'm feeling sore, but good!
Now, let the real training begin!
