last sunday, as part of the fall festival here in corvallis, i ran my first 5k race. a few weeks ago, i realized that my gym membership was about to expire and that (speaking of gyms) there wouldn't be a gym in mexico that i could join. and so i decided to take up running in order to stay in shape. and since i'm not really that motivated to run (particularly due to past knee problems), i figured what better motivation than to sign up for a race and pay to run and get a t-shirt as well.
so i went out and bought a new pair of running shoes and have been running fairly regularly. my "goal" was to run under 30 minutes - set the standard low, yes?
the day was beautiful and sunny (not too much more of those ... the current forecast has little rainclouds for the next seven months), and my time was 25:14. woohoo! not too bad.
the great pumpkin run is next! because seriously, that is going to be an awesome t-shirt.
