The big day is finally here! I must admit it was a bit anti-climactic, but I did achieve all three of my goals: jog the whole 3.1 miles, finish in under 40 minutes, and not be the last person in the jogger group. :) My friend Chrissy from gradschool and my coworker Johanna did it with me. We finihsed in 39.44 minutes. Yeah, I know it was cutting it close - but we were weaving through a crowd of over 30,000 people - most of them moving at a snails pace. Even in the non-competitive jogger group, a majority of people I saw were walking. It was annoying, especially the strollers and dogs I was dodging. We all agree that had we been clear to jog without the human obstacle course we could have done it faster. I could have done it faster, but I had to stop and wait for Chrissy and Johanna to catch up so that I wouldn't lose them in the crowd. Of course, I only really pulled ahead towards the end when Chrissy looked at me and said "We have 2 minutes", so I took off. Regardless of the time though I am VERY proud of myself for accomplishing my goal :) And it was even more fun because I was doing it with my friends, who were also doing their first 5ks :)
I have officially jogged a 5k!!!!!!!
