So, after I had Jackson I decided to get back into running. My ultimate goal is to run a half marathon by this fall. So, I ran in my first race today-the Salt Lake 5K. It is in conjunction with the Salt Lake Marathon. It was actually much more fun than I expected. I thought it would just be like running every day, but it was more exciting for some reason. I certainly wasn't running to win-just to finish. I was kind of proud of myself :). I just need to keep going so I can reach my goal! Wish me luck!
