A coworker of mine convinced me and some other coworkers to join him in a 5K. A few coworkers jog daily and planned to run the 5K. Others, like me, planned to walk it. I have never done a 5K and wasn't sure what to expect.
During times where I am exercising I would go walking and had gotten up to 2 miles and it took about 40-45 minutes to do that. 5K is 3.1 miles, I thought I could do it in 1 hour.
This race was called a Turkey Trot. I think the winners of each age group got a certificate for a turkey. We all got a race shirt.
I was in the Women age 35-39 division. I placed 23rd in that division and 134th overall (but I don't know how many participated). My time was 55:17.7 (55 minutes 17.1 seconds)
So I was under an hour. I hope that this race will jumpstart me to exercising more. I'd like to do another 5K and see how much time I can shave off.
