Running just as fast as I can...

Saturday I ran in my 4th ever 5k race.  I am not a runner...I was curious how I would do after the weight loss, and with being good about working out at the gym with lots of cardio,  and hey it was a fundraiser for my baby's school.  Friday when I was at the gym, I attempted to get on the treadmill to see how running would go, and I couldn't even figure out how to turn the stupid thing on!   Seriously, I followed the directions and sat there for a good 5 minutes trying to get it on.  Yes I pushed the quickstart and nothing happened...  I finally gave up and just go on the ARC machine....
So anyways, I went to this race with two girlfriends, and my main goal was to do at least 1 mile of the race without stopping...Yeah sadly, I always end up walking some before I hit 1 mile in every race before...I am excited to report I didn't stop to walk at all through the entire freaking thing!!! Of course I wanted to, and came close to near the end, but I didn't, and even attempted to spring the last little bit...  My final time was about 31 minutes, the official times have not been posted yet, but I am still excited!  So am I an offical runner now?  No way, but I am so freaking proud you would have thought I did a marathon!
