Yay! I did it! My first 5K on Labor Day in Franklin, TN in support of Mercy Children's Clinic. Now, hold on, let you should get too excited, for those of you who know me well - no, I've not started running! I walked it. I had 3 friends that were doing it, they of course were running or a combination of running and walking, but I decided to sign up and do and I was pleased with what I did!
I did jog very briefly at the beginning to let most of the folks behind me get around, and then when I set my walking pace I stuck to it the entire way and never stopped. I slowed slightly only twice near the end on a couple of inclines, but I must say for a 5K (3.1 miles) in middle Tennesse it was a fairly flat course overall, which I was very glad of. I was almost to the 2 mile mark before absolutely everyone passed me and I finished in under an hour. I'm going to continue walking each day and my friends and I are intending to do another one in Clarksville on October 18.
Just had to share my good news!!
"All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139:16 "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105 "When Jesus spoke... he said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'" John 8:12
