But...the best thing this weekend was that Karen ran her first 5k! *
She ran the whole thing without stopping in 30:34. I on the hand kept getting really bad cramps. The ones where it hurt to exhale and when we got to the biggest hill at the finish line I needed to walk.
I finished in 30:58, not my best time but I am so glad to run it with karen.
So proud ofher!
*Karen has never been active at all and when she said she wanted to run a 5k I told her to download couch to 5k app. She went from not being able to run 3 minutes straight, looking at the next few weeks plans and being so afraid of not being able to run for 6 minutes straight to now running 5k in 30 minutes.
If you are thinking of running a 5k, download this app. It is amazing. Just give yourself 8-9 weeks and you''ll be there.

Good for you guys!! She was probably very motivated to have her bff running with her too :)
Way to go for your bff! Your comment about the Couch to 5k program is so right. If you stick with it you will be able to run a 5k. It worked for me.
