Our first 5k landed on the last day of week 7 of our 10 week 5k training. Although taking on a race before out training was complete intimidated some of the runner I was impressed with the 6 ladies who signed up to run almost as soon as I posted the race details. As the race got closer and our training intensified, excitement and anxiety grew in the club. Where we ready? Should we have waited for a race to come once we had finished the entire 10 week class?
Doubts and nerves aside when race day came everyone showed up, ran their hearts out, and finished well. Each individual Curves runner beat their previous best 5k time. I was so proud of each one of them.
