Running a 5k

On Saturday, February 25, I ran a 5k. A 5k is 3 miles. Last year I ran 3 mile in 50 minutes. This year I wanted to beat that time. I did by three minutes. I woke up a 8 in the morning to get ready to run. My group didn't start running until about 9:20. About a mile in the sun came out for a few minutes. Last year I got tired about half a mile in. I barely trained last year. This year I trained a little bit more, so I didn't get tired until over a mile and a half. When there is a fourth of a mile left of the second mile you have to turn around. A the turn around there are people holding out donuts. I didn't take any though. On the third mile I started to feel sick. Unfortunately the sun decided to come out as well. Luckily I made it across the finish line before getting sick. I hope next year I will do even better. I just have to train more. Maybe next year I will be able to do the 8k(5miles) as well.
