Well I did it!! Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (was worried since I never ran 3 miles, let alone 3.1!!!) and I am happy with what I've accomplished in a short time! The past, almost, 3 weeks of training paid off! I don't have my official bib time yet, but I tried syncing my mapmyrun app which read 35 minutes and some odd seconds. I know it's a little off because it recorded me running 3.18 miles or something. After I crossed the finish, I tried stopping my app/timer but my arms were tired and that might be why it clocked me as going for an additional .08 mile?
I got my nifty medal and refueled with my Quest Cookies and Cream protein bar which was healthier than the bars they were handing out. I did take a banana though!! When I returned home, my neighbor was walking his dog and asked, "How'd it go?" so that was nice to chat with someone about my race :)
I just signed up for my 2nd race that's scheduled for May 18!!! I can see how these can become addicting. Like I said on FB, it's all about the swag :)
