A running "WOW"

I mapped out and ran a full 5k outside today.  The first 2.5 were a long downhill grade, the second
2.5 k was...well the opposite.  My time was 39:55.  Pretty respectable I think.  5-10 minutes slower than on the treadmill, but, with the hill, I expected that.  I am sooooo thrilled with myself, I almost want to go back out and see if I can do it faster.  hahaha

Great job!  39min is a pretty respectable time!  After training for a long time for a 5k, I did 33min in a race -but not usually that fast in training.  And I trained for about 5 months!  Great job!

Thanks!  I have been running on the treadmill for several months, but was always a little afraid to try it outside, since I know it is harder.  So far, so good.  I am loving it.  I am supposed to run 2 5k races in October, so we'll see what happens.  Goal- run a marathon in 2 years or less.  Don't think I'd ever do it more than once, but would like to say I have done atleast one in my lifetime.  I also want to try the CN tower walk up.  It would be fun to get together an OH team and do it all together.  :)
