So after last night’s disappointment, I went to the local high school and ran on the 400m track. 12.5 laps. OR: 5K!!
I learned some things.
- Have the husband and baby sit away from the beginning of the laps. I got distracted and would forget to hit the timer until a little late.
- Do not eat Cheez-its before running. I just walked the entire 11th lap because I felt sick.
- Stretch the back of the thighs more.
- I overestimated how fast I run on the treadmill and ran my first lap a bit fast, at least for my first time on the “street”.
Despite these little shortfalls, I think I did really good for my first time.
