Lately I've been enjoying running. When I was in college, I always wondered how people could enjoy running for nothing. Now I reflect back, and wonder how wrong I was. It was just a matter of time once you start running that you begin to get the feel for it. I don't recall how exactly I got into running. As I got into running more and more, I decided to take part in a some races in the town. The first race that I took part in Nashville was MayorChallenge5K. My goal was to finish 5K in 20 minutes. I must have set my expectations pretty high without realizing how tough it is with very limited practice. The first two hills went pretty well, but the third hill I had lost almost all. Thanks to the crowd who cheered the runners all the way. Drinking water while running was not a good idea. If I had known that, I would have certainly avoided water. Water made me slow down a bit, but I managed to finish just after 23 minutes. I need to improve, and I know its gonna be tough.
