First 5K run/walk today

Post by YikesMn »

This morning I completed my first 5k run/walk. I was scheduled to do my 25 minute run today (W6R3) and my partner encouraged me to enter. I'm a very slow runner, and only finished 1/2 of the course running, but that was 1/2 of a 5k more than I could have done just a few weeks ago.
It was a beautiful clear day in Minneapolis and 47 degrees F. The leaves are just past the most spectacular Fall colors, but it was still a wonderful day to do a run down the Mississippi River.
I'm so pleased to have found this app. It's truly changed my life. Best to you all, and thank you for sharing your experience and support.
- Shari

That would be about 8 degrees C. :)
