First 5k, done and done
October 10th, 2007 Emile
A few weeks back I wrote a blog entry about preparing for a 5k. Well that time has come and gone. This past Saturday I ran in my first 5k in Russellville, KY. The time wasn’t stellar (30:50) but I ran the entire time and didn’t want to kill myself till about the 2.75 mark. I was training for the 5k held during the Bowling Green Medical Center 10k, but decided to go ahead and do one a week early. This Saturday I will be running in BG race.
It is also important to note that I did get 2nd place in my age group, and yes that would mean a trophy. If you get a trophy they call it second place, if I didn’t get a trophy I would have called it last place since there was only me and another guy in my age group.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on my running situation because I knew you all were dying to know. But more importantly then any of this is to make note of those fly outdoorzy.com t-shirts. Man those look GOOD!

Nice Job Emile!
Funny, the same thing happened to me when I ran my first 5k, except I got 3rd place… out of 3 in my age group… and came home with my first running trophy…
Also, I have the same shirt… very comfy and stylish!
I was showing it off at the YMCA last night as a matter of fact~!
