My First 5K

Well I did it I ran my fisrt 5K on June 20th. I wanted something that i could challenge myself to workout harder. So 5 weeks before I emailed some ladies in my ward to see if anyone was in to do this with me. After I had commited and payed for it i was a little worried about what i had done. How could i possibly run 3.1 miles i was always dead after running 1 mile. Well I started challenging myself and pretty soon i was running 2 miles. Then i finally worked up to running the whole 3.1 miles. The day of the race came and i was so scared. I wanted to finish the 3.1 miles in 30 minutes that was my goal. Well we started the race and i was doing pretty good. I kept my pace up and was right on track and then at about the last mile i had to slow way down. I had to go Pee it was killing me. Well i never made it in my 30 minutes I did it in 33.36 minutes. Also it was crazy hot that day. Our race was at 8:30am and it was 90 degrees with crazy humitity I thought i was going to die. But i finished. I finally accomplished a goal that i set for myself. These are the 2 other women that ran with me. Julia McGraw and Myra Sowrd. This was before the race started

This was after the race was all over and we were super tired and no Julia did not sweat that much that her hair was sopping wet. She poured water all over herself after she was done running.

Another after shot. All in all i was very happy that all 3 of us finished this race and encouraged each other to keep going before the race day acctually came. Thanks girls for doing this with me.
