First 5K and I feel great!

I ran my first ever 5K and it went swimmingly! It was kind of cold and it drizzled at bit before the race, but I love running when its cold out. Sure, I didn't finish first. Sure I only finished with five people after me. Sure, the first place finisher ran it three times. Sure, my fingers are a little bit swollen. BUT! I didn't finish last! I ran almost the entire time! I finished in about thirty minutes, which I think is good for my first ever 5K! My lungs didn't have any trouble and in fact were not gasping for breath! My mental stamina isn't awesome, so that's something to work on! There's nowhere to go but up! This totally made my day. :)
