5k!

I ended up joining the Saratoga YMCA. I know I said in a previous post that I would not be able to join, but my friend managed to get me a family membership, or something. I am not too sure. Regardless, I'm a member now!

Now here's the big news. Yesterday, I ran 5k on the treadmill! for the first time ever! Granted, I averaged a 12 min mile and it took me 37 minutes, but still, I did it! Now I am ready to sign up for my first road race, which will be a 5k in SF in early February. My goal is to run it at a 10 min mile pace, which means the next few weeks, I will be working on running...faster.

Running = not as scary as I thought.
