Saturday, I ran my very first race. It was a 5k and I was very nervous about it. Technically I wasnt as prepared physically as I would have liked to have been but Im still happy that I went through with it. What a great feeling to #1 have it over with and #2 to have DONE IT in the first place! Denver came with the kids and Nate, Alisa and Soren also met me at the finish line. How cool is that? It was great seeing them at the end. I finished somewhere right in the middle of my age group which was better than I expected. I kept my pace up to what I have been doing lately too which was good. I wasnt too worried about my time....that will come later!

So, I did have to walk for about 60 seconds up the hilly part but it wasnt too long....however, now I am determined to be able to run a 5k all the way through without stopping even for a second. Im going to work hard on it! I really want to be able to run a 10k by next summer....I think I can do it.
