My first 5K

Today I ran my first 5K. I learned that if I'm going to run a 5K I should prepare in advance. I have literally gone running twice since having Henry, most recently about 3 weeks ago. I got carsick on the way there. The course was an out-and-back course and was alllll uphill on the way out and all downhill on the way back. I felt pretty okay for the first 1/3, slow because of the hill, but not too bad, but then I started feeling super sick, like carsick again and it was not the most pleasant thing I've ever done. In the end I finished in 37:52, 22/48 in my age group (19-29). Not a great time (a 12:12 mile pace), but it's good to get my first one done, and I've got a decidedly beatable first time.
