My very first race was The Running of the Horns 5K on April 1, 2006 in Austin, Texas. It ran through the campus of the University of Texas and I walked the whole thing hoping only to finish it in under an hour. My official time was 57:55. When I had finished, Glenda (who walked it with me in support), pulled a medal from her back pocket. It was inscribed “Suellen’s First 5K”…I was hooked!
