Today I ran my first 5K. It's kinda crazy to think this is now just a "practice race", seeing as this was originally my goal when I started running. This was a "fun run" put on by Salt Lake Running Company. There was no entrance fee and a free shirt. Talk about my idea of a good race! My goal was to run it in 30-35 mins. Emma's dad took us there so that we wouldn't have to find a place to park. We had to be there by 7:15 because they were having a raffle of prizes. We didn't win anything - besides the shirt and the experience! Emma's dad stayed while we ran. When everyone took off we started quickly - maybe a little to quickly for me. I have decided that I need to work on my speed. We did really good - finished in 31 mins 17 sec's which was what I was hoping we would run it in. Really want to run quicker though so that will be the goal this week! As we ran across the finish line I heard Brice's voice and knew that he and Madie were there. It was just a "test" so I told Brice that he didn't have to come. It was fun to have them there though. Anyway.. it was a good race! I'm glad that we did it. Helped me realize all that I need to work on in the next month. SOO scary to think my half is only a month away! Here are some pictures from the day....
This is the crazy face that greets me three times a week.
These are some pre-race photo's. After these pictures I noticed that I had a lovely roosters crow. I guess it just goes to show I am there to run, not to look good doing it!
This was after we finished the race. We did pretty good!
This is me all by myself! :)
