5k: Check More to Come: Check

Short post real quick, I finished the 5k in 30:59 and ran the whole thing.  There were a few hills that killed me and the fact that it snowed about an inch last night (which was all soft and churned up on the course), it was 20 degrees out, and there was a 20mph wind so it was 5 degree wind chill.  I am very happy about my run, I didn't quit, my best friend ran it with me and pushed me along the whole way without even saying a word.  He was just running about 30 ft ahead of me and it was enough to keep pushing.  Also I think I could have had a much better time but it took 2.5 mins before we went to walking out of the gate to running somewhat normal and even then there was a lot of zig zagging.  I did it though and it felt great and now I'm going to train for a half marathon.  I've decided to start monday using Hal Higdons program and hopefully in 12 weeks I'll be able to put that notch on my belt.  Now off for a celebratory beer.
