Freedom Run 2010- 10k

I did it! I finally ran my first run/competition/race! It was a lot of fun. Running is not really my fortay you could say... I've been running for the last few months, and my only goal was to finish without stopping. I not only didn't stop, but I ran like a 9-10 min mile. To most, this could be very slow... But for me, I was SOO happy with that! My final time was 58.10. For not running outside once, I was really proud of my time and performance.. HOWEVER, I am feeling the effects the next day. My shins are hurting, and I am walking around like an old woman...
Jake decided to run with me, which was really good because I was honestly sooo nervous to run. I couldn't believe all the people that came out to run. There were over a thousand people running the 10k, but there was also a 5k/mile and then a wheelchair 10k/5k/mile as well. I didn't get a picture of it, but Steve Young ran as well. He finished I think at like 55-56 min. I was feeling pretty good about my time after that... even though I am like half his age.
