Mommy’s First 5K

Girls with Grandma waiting for mommy to finish.  I was apparently 2 minutes away : )

It rained and stopped and rained and stopped.  And just after the Elite (timed) 5K began the rain was back.  So my non-compete 5K was an awesome rainy 34 minutes : )

This was the very last of the run, I am on the left in black pants just behind the runner in the yellow jacket (Jen- my friend and mom of twins)  When I saw this pic it totally reminded me of a certain movie where a guy started running and didn’t stop.  I remember a scene where he was in a red hat and yellow rain coat : )

Waving to my fabulous, adoring fans just before I cross the finish line : )  I had a goal to complete the 5K in 42 minutes because it was what I was expecting from my treadmill experience.  Running outside is so different,… I finished in 34 minutes!!
