My First Official 5k

This post is long overdue but for some reason or another I lost the motivation to keep up with the blog. On the bright side I have actually been keeping up with the goals. Back in October, when I was still practicing for the half marathon, I ran a 5k with Dolores through Hollywood. The event was hosted by the yoga clothing store Lululemon. Who by the way (I found this out after running their little 5k) are against thicker women wearing their clothes. Apparently the pants do not stretch out enough at the ass and thighs (making ur underwear visible) because the clothes are made fore small women. True shit, Google the Lululemon's founder and his apology video lol. Any who, so the 5k at the time was the longest distance I had ran in training for the half marathon and I gotta tell you, I felt like it was the most incredible thing! haha The run started out with a huge ass hill that I was able to run about half way up. It ended with a nice downhill and was straight for the most part. Most people at the event had also signed up for the half and there was ambassadors there. It was nice to see that not only athletes and professionals were running the half! Actually, a lot of normal people trying to make healthier decisions were there and it gave me some confidence in my ability to finish a half marathon. =]
