That is a great time and just be proud that you finish the race. If you have a chance you should add some hill running into your training. It does help make you a stronger runner.

I agree, Kelly is a rock star! I think I was at the same run as you, and it was my very first ever...I am 2 months post op and completed my first 5K in 41.17.... Congrats!
