I Did It!!!

I did it! I ran my first 5k and accomplished all 3 of my goals...

1. Cross the finish line
2. Cross the finish line with a smile on my face
3. Don't be the last person across the finish line

Heather was an awesome running partner, even though she could have finished in half the time it took me, she stayed at my pace and helped me through. I'm sure if I was doing it by myself I probably would have quit halfway through, I'm so glad she was there with me, Thanks Heather!!!
This was before the race while we were waiting to start...notice the cool headband I'm sporting, Heather brought it back for me from the Disney Wine and Dine. If you can't tell, it says "Run Like A Mother", I love it!

Mile 1 DONE!

Mile 2 Done...almost there! These pictures were also my excuse to stop and stretch for a quick min :-)

On my way up the home stretch, can you see the light at the end of the tunnel :)

My two favorite cheerleaders were there waiting for me right before the finish line to give me a high five and the little extra boost that I needed to make it across.

Here we come...to the FINISH!

A big hug for Mommy!

Family Shot.

Super happy to be done!

So, how was it? It was fun! Will I do another, YES! In fact, Thanksgiving is coming up, which means...Turkey Trots. We've already decided which one we're going to do and I'm also going to sign Kaitlyn up for a kids run. I forgot to mention there were kids out there running with us, I got passed by 3!!!

I'm going to rest for the rest of the weekend, but on Monday I'll be back out there with more of a fire under me now that I know how much fun these can be!
