This past Sunday February 2 I completed La Mamba Run Club’s La Mamba Challenge 5K: Yo Soy Boricua.
I did a combination of running and walking. My bad knee was hurting so I decided to take it easy. Being my first 5K, my main goal was to complete it. I didn’t really care about pacing or time.
Tomato face 🤣 but so excited!
It was such a good experience. Seeing people from all ages participating, the good energy and people cheering each other on… It felt wonderful. This experience motivates me to keep participating in other races and improving.
We signed up for another 5K near our home on February 23. Looking forward to see if there’s any improvement in my stamina.
I downloaded the Runna app (I also have the Nike Club) and am following a beginner running plan so I can gain stamina and improve over time. Hoping to share progress here as I keep participating in other races and share anything I learn along the way.
Do you run? Have you participated from a running event (5K, 10K, Half Marathon or Marathon)?
