my first 5k :)

i ran my very first 5K this morning with my good friend erin.

at 9:30am in the blazing sun.

i didn’t even look to see what the temp was.

i probably don’t want to know.

i had 3 goals.

1. to finish the race

2. to run/jog the entire race

3. to not be last

around the 2.8ish mark i started getting a bit dizzy, which had never really happened to me before.  i decided it better to walk a bit, than to pass out and let erin deal with that situation. so… no meeting goal #2. but that’s ok. I was able to meet goals #1 and #3, which is better than passing out and not meeting any goals ;) 

plus. there's a bonus.

(that outweighs the fact that i walked a little bit...)

erin and i got first place in our age group!

i am still cracking up.

so funny.

it wasn't a big race by any means... it was perfect for my first race.

still. first place. hilarious.

lilly had just said... "mom, im waiting for them to say you and erin"

and i replied... "oh lilly, they won't be calling our name."

but they did. and erin and i burst into laughter.

i got a gift certificate to a salon and erin got a gift certificate to a local bakery.

so guess where we went right after the race?

this adorable little bakery.

Yum.

thank you erin.

for encouraging me to do this race.

for keeping me going when i thought i couldn't do it anymore.

(and thanks for the sweet treats too!!)
