5 Miles- check!

We did it! 5 miles, on Easter Sunday too! We went to church, and while Shane's mom was cooking away we headed out for our 5 mile run. It was the first real run I have done outside. And it was about 36 degrees in Maine. There is something to be said for training for any kind of run in the Northeast during winter. I know technically it's spring, but someone forgot to tell the New Englanders. Not being used to 1. running, 2. running outside, and 3. running any sort of distance. It was a huge mental challenge. The entire time I was worried I was breathing in too much cold air that was going to get me sick and my calves still hurt from our 3.5 on Thursday... but, I made it. I have to say, training with someone else is probably the ONLY way I would ever be prepared for something like this... There's something about being able to push yourself a little harder when there is someone else running next to you...
