I survived!
I ran my first 5K on Saturday - my friend Julia and I ran in the Race for the Cure. She has run 5Ks before, and it was great to run with someone - any time I thought about stopping to walk I just dug in again and kept running. We were slowed down at the beginning because a lot of the walkers started out front and we had to push through, but I finished in 33:50, just a few seconds after Julia. My treadmill 5K time is about 31 minutes, so I was happy to be close to that since I don't run outside unless I *have* to. The weather wasn't too hot until the last mile, and then the sun was on our faces and things were starting to heat up.

ReplyDeleteFunny..when I first saw the pic on here, it looked like something was funky with your hair..then, i realized it was actually the trees in the background!
Haha, thanks. I'm trying out my new palm tree hair before the wedding :-)
ReplyDeleteUntil I read this post, I totally thought you had me by 20 seconds! I also noticed the weird thing about your hair. It looked like you had a curly clip on updo thing on until I moved the screen a bit and saw it was trees.
