Milestone: Completed my first ever 5K walk today in 56 minutes!

May 22, 2010

Wow! I still can't believe that I did it. The physical goal became an emotional one as well, when my walking partners were not able to make it at the last minute. I forced myself to go, and arrived not knowing a single person in the crowd, or what the process was. I figured it all out by watching others, then completed the 5K at my own comfortable walking pace in 56 minutes. The anxiety caused by the fears of doing this alone almost caused me to stay home, but despite the questionable weather and having to face my insecurities head on, I went. And I am so glad that I did it. Now I hope to set a new goal of completing a 5K walk each weekend it is possible. This was a HUGE accomplishment for me and I am so proud of myself.
