10K.......Check!

After two successful weeks of NOT running, the Celebrate Fitness 10K I had signed up for had crept up on me. My first thought was "@%@#$@!!!  WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!?!?", so, I decided to run a measly mile the day before the race. That has to help somehow, right?

It did!! Somehow, I completed it and had a decent time. I think it had to do with my wingman for the race - Nikki. We magically have the same pace and I don't know what I would have done without her! The route was out and back instead of a loop, which really stunk, and the first 1/2 mile was pretty much downhill......which means the last 1/2 mile was uphill. NOT. GOOD. I had an awesome time before that, and completely died up the last hill.  I finished at 1:00:10 ish... I could see the clock go past 1 hour and I was SO CLOSE, but I sadly didn't make it. I was still happy with my time (especially for not running for 2 previous weeks)!

My first race bib!

The girls after the run!

I forgot to take a picture with him at the race, so I tried to snap one in the truck :)
