5K!!

No pics yet, but I did complete my very first 5K race ever! My goal, since it was a hilly course, was to not stop to walk and to run it in 40 minutes. Well, I ran it in 30 minutes and 38 seconds!! I am so proud of myself and I am totally hooked to running now. When I heard the cheering and the music at the end it totally gave me a burst of energy, then I heard Paul cheering me on and Maddy was there, it was awesome. Krista and I ran it and it was great knowing that my friend was in it too. What a cool thing! We are finding more to do now, there is a 5K that is connected with the Seattle Marathon in November, then the Jingle Bell Jog in December, St. Paddy's Day Dash in March. So many fun things to look forward to! Running was my way of conquering my fitness issues after having Maddy, and it is so exciting to have been able to break through that barrier!

Ok, I am goign to watch Amazing Race now, yay for fall TV!!
