My First Race

After completing the Couch to 5K program through my Fitbit, I ran my first race in September 2022 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, NC. It was actually quite fun, and watching the other participants start walking towards the end motivated me to keep going and not slow down. I finished in nearly last place with a whopping time of 39:33… an average 13 min/mile pace. Not too shabby for my first race.

As I run towards the finish line, I realize it wasn’t so bad after all.

…except I didn’t stretch enough
