And another #beforeandafter! My 2nd #5k in 2011 and my 8th just last weekend. These pictures are rarely cute, but whatever- I'm always having fun and that's what matters. I am not fast... never really have been. That's ok though- I love racing and it's such an awesome measure of progress. I keep a spreadsheet to track all my runs. If you've thought about doing a 5k, just do it! It's only 3.1 miles and there's always people running, walking, pushing strollers, etc. Don't be intimidated! I try to do one a month in the winter so I always have a small goal to work towards :)
