First 5K

So this morning I ran my first 5K. I'm so excited! I set a goal of making all the way thru without walking and I did it! Next year I will set a time goal and meet that. This year I joked around saying I was running for the donuts. I started off the race with a friend but she is a fairly new runner so I was keeping a super slow pace with her. Once I hit the first time clock I realized I would have to ditch her and run faster. I was running a 13+ minute mile and I know I can run faster than that so I turned on the jets. Ha! Well as fast as my little legs would pump for a little bit to makeup time. Seriously for a while ladies pushing strollers were going faster than me! And y'all there were a couple of hills no fun! Especially the one at the end. My legs were not happy. People were probably wondering what is this girl doing because I was literally taking pics with my cell phone the whole way thru. I knew I wasn't going to win any races so I happily took it all in and documented it!

Walk to the race. How gorgeous is this day!?

Middle of the pack. Waiting for it to thin out!

The globetrotters handing out water.

5000 chins! Totally took this mid run! People prob thought I was crazy.

Batman and Robin.

I think that's my shoe.

Ask him how to gain weight.

Motivation! I only had 1 after the race.

All done!
