Well, I jog/walked a pitiful 48 minutes. Two years ago I ran it in 37 minutes. http://biggerthanababyelephant.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
There's the post about that.
But I'm not entirely discouraged for the following reasons:
1: I have not trained AT ALL for this 5k.
2: I have not jogged since April 2012 when I got pregnant with Charlotte
3: I weigh 50 lbs more than I did at that race. If that me carried 50 lbs while jogging, I bet she'd run a lot slower!
Yes, I'm discouraged about the weight, but this journey, this battle, is a mental one. I am glad I went out and did it. I felt the rush I used to feel. As I was going, I didn't feel defeated, but empowered.
So there you go!
Congrats on completing the 5k and not giving up.
