I ran my first 5K today and it was exhilarating! I participated in the Susan G. Komen 5K Race for the Cure in DC. I got to see Joe & Jill Biden before the race as well as have Leila Hathaway sing as the race started.

I ran/walked the whole time and finished in 39 minutes and I think 50 something seconds. Now that's not great...but its certainly a start.

It felt great to be amongst others who have been affected in some way by breast cancer. My boyfriend's mother has had it for a few years now, so it's near and dear to my heart!
