Race Recap: My 1st Race

Atlanta Children's Shelter 5K -  6/11/11 - Piedmont Park

I chose the ACS 5K (3.1 mi) race to support the stabilization of homeless families with young children.  Kids shouldn't have to suffer.

I started my Nike+ GPS app a little early, so technically I ran 3.4 mi in 31:47 (9:20 pace).  I had no prior knowledge of the exact route, so this wasn't bad considering it was very hilly!  Hopefully I'll meet my time goal of finishing a 5K in under 30 min. at the next race in two weeks (HBCU Alumni Alliance 5K).

I RUN to maintain my weight loss and it's a challenge I've always wanted to conquer.
