I had so much fun at the 5K today! Thanks Allie and James for putting that on. It was fun to celebrate your special day with you! It was also great to meet so many FRB runners in person. I met Allie, Bonnie, Tara, Kam, Kelli, Catherine, Eric (facelessghost), Andrea, Jake K, Carina, James (fiddy) and the entire Sasha Pachev family! I also saw RAD after her awesome 1:30 AF Half finish time! Today was really inspiring. It was great to be surrounded by so many runners who work hard each week and are dedicated to such a positive activity. I think the most inspiring part of today was watching all those Pachev kids kick some major trash! They are incredible. It was fun to watch Jake and Andrea's team fly around the track, too.
Anyway, here is my race report: I've got my work cut out for me. I could pretty much stop there. :) I wanted to get a good baseline, so it was nice to have this flat 5K today. And let me tell you, we're starting pretty low here folks. But I guess that's too be expected since it's only been 5 weeks since baby girl came. It's been about 1.5 years since I've been where I want to be running wise, but now I can start working on it again and I'm happy about that.
