This morning I ran my first official 5 K race/run. I say official because I actually wore one of the number things on my shirt. The proceeds from the run benefit Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Ryan and Jack fighting back. If you feel so inclined go to their website and donate.
This was the first year they held the race so the turn out was somewhat small in comparison to other runs I have attended. But this was the first race I have ever entered and although I was disappointed with my time I did place first in my age group which was Blue Eyed Men Born Between May and July 1970. That's right the rest of the dudes in that category ate my dust.
I pushed myself pretty hard during the race and then when I finished I ate my body weight in soft pretzels and Dunkin Donut Munchkins.

Awww, congratulations, that's awesome. What a funny post - short & sweet & made me laugh. Very nice.
That's awesome, Congratulations.
I remember my first 5k, I got lapped by a guy in his 40s pushing a double stroller with 2 not so little kids in it. He did this even after he started the race 10 full minutes after I did. But I finished and celebrating by spending the next 18 months not running. :)
I think the last sentence of this post is the clue that solved the mystery of why I am not a successful runner. I eat my body weight in delicious snacks BEFORE running. Doh!
(congratulations to you!)
Way to go!! (and, Awesome accomplishments always deserve a treat!)
Congrats on your first 5K! That's a great accomplishment!
Congrats, William. I'm proud of you!
Ohhhh. P90 X Munchkin !!!!
Yay carbs!
It's like Belushi on SNL years ago, "Little Chocolate Donuts have been on my training table for years!"
being Canadian, I'm guessing that a Dunkin Donut Munchkin is the cousin to a Tim Horton's Timbit...
...oh--and good job!!
Congrats man. Well done.
