I was so psyched when I joined my first run. My co-workers and I signed up for the NATGEO Earth day Run 2011 last April 10. Some of us were in the 5K category and some joined in the 3K cat. It was an awesome experience and was really challenging. I say it was challenging because it had been a long time since I ran that far and it was our first time to join a fun run. Thousands of people participated in the said event and it's a bit comforting to know that people from different walks of life (young, old, slim, chubby, athletes, non-athletes) were able to join.
My friend in the picture below didn't look he was having a great time, did he? (LOL)
Anyway, thank goodness I was able to finish the race and I'm proud to say that slow as I was (but in a consistent pace) I reached the finish line at around 39 minutes plus.
And yes! I brought my camera to capture the time (amongst other things) while running. (LOL)
After the race we got to gather around an open area where the sponsors had set up their booths. And we hang-out there for a bit.
It was really fun and that's how my friends and I became addicted to Running.
I caught this on my cam - a candid picture of stranger, showing exhaustion after the race. I just thought it's really funny :)
