My first 5k is behind me

Posted on June 23, 2010 by Fran Hart

Here we are (Saturday June 19), having just finished Vern’s No Frills 5k. My hubby surprised me by running most of the way. He finished about a minute ahead of Sherie (my coach and friend) and me.

I’m proud of my results, finishing 5k in about 38 1/2 minutes. We ran a pretty steady race for the first 2 miles. We ran most of the last mile (one short little walk). I said “Oh my goodness!” about 50 times and Sherie reassured me every time that I could do it. For the last stretch she coached me as though I were swimming. I raced as a swimmer from the age of 6 to 16 so it was very effective to talk to me in terms of 50m laps in an individual medley.
This marks a major milestone and is a reflection of tremendous progress since investing in the Wii Fit Plus back in December.

    Thanks Barbara! I'm definitely glad to have survived that major milestone! (and better than survived. I ran my best time ever).
