Feeling Accomplished!

I usually take Sundays off as far as exercise, but I thought I may not make it to the gym tomorrow or Tuesday if we get snow.  I decided that I would run a 5K to see how my time would be.  I've only ran one 5K and that was last year at the St. Pat's 5K here in Columbia and that will be the next one I will be running again.  When I ran today, I beat my time from last year by 6 minutes!  I was so excited, especially since my subdivision that I ran in is VERY hilly, so my time for this year's 5K should really blow last year out of the water.  When I first start running, I feel good.  A little ways in, I start thinking about reasons why I should stop, but somehow I find the strength to keep going.  Once I've been running for a while, I actually start to feel pretty good!
