Resolution Run Virtual 5k

Recently I blogged about registering for the 13 In 2013 Challenge (13 races in 2013).  Yesterday was my first race of the year.  I chose to start with a virtual race, the Resolution Run Virtual 5k, part of the 5 By The 5th Virtual Race Series.  This was my first time running since August 2012, after I decided to take the rest of the year off to allow my knee to heal.  It was cold!  January in Michigan kind of cold!  30 degrees, snow, and ice.  But, I did it!  I didn't want to at first, but I did.  It's so much easier to stay in the warm house, on the couch with a blanket or two, watching TV or playing around on the computer, but when you have specific goals that you want to reach it's up to YOU to take action toward reaching them.  My time was 35:43.  Not my best time...actually my worst!  But I'll take it!  I'm just glad I got out there in the cold, after such a long break from running, and did it.  I'm looking forward to my next run, Freeze Your Franny 5k on January 26th, and also my future 2013 runs, which include 5ks, 10ks, Mud Runs, and Half Marathons.
