So I just finished my first 5k (apparently actually almost 6k).

I have only ever run on treadmills before, and this was trail running. Longest I’ve ever run in my life is 9 km.

If you’ve ever seen my body type, throw words like “ectomorph” or “endomorph” out the window: my proper classification is “brick with legs”.

I gasped and panted through the entire thing, got outpaced by the 10k runners on their second lap, and finished dead last. I think I was told “a quarter mile left!” three times.
