Move It 2011 Budget 5K Race Report

This budget race did its job. I went out and ran this morning and if it weren't for me having the race on my calendar I probably wouldn't have. My allergies were acting up, it was a chilly 38 degrees and Jake had a baseball game starting later in the morning.

But run I did and I am so glad for it, because not only was I able to beat my target time of 37:00 minutes, but I hit a personal record completely the 3.1 miles in 33:59 minutes. This may still seem slow to some but for me to see the progress I have made in my running over the last 3 months was very rewarding. It felt good to push myself, give it 110% and see results.

And speaking of results, guess who fit in her size 6 jeans from Old Navy that I couldn't have hoped to button and zip at the beginning of winter?

Yes folks, progress indeed.

    Awesome! I did mine today too and it was terrible. I almost quit because everything was going wrong, but I had already read your blog post and was thinking, "Jenn ran 3.1 miles in 38 degree weather, suck it up and keep going!" Thanks for inspiring me and yay for fitting into your old jeans!!!
