Party....don't let your mama know! Party....or she won't let you go!!
We had a GREAT time today with all of our FRB's! Let's see who came; Sarah, Sasha & Crew, Kelli & Scott, Jon A, Kellie & Tyler, Michelle, Paul & the men and my David and off spring. It was so much fun to see everyone out in force. I am sure there were more bloggers out there that I did not know :( Next year, we want everyone to come for sure!!
Now for my race report- Thanks to Julia and Sasha I made it in under 31 minutes. Julia was my pacer for the race. She lost me for mile two, but at the beginning of mile three she was walking and so we hooked up again. She was fantastic. We started out way too fast, but it's hard to hold back the sweet pacer, ah youth! I paid for it in mile 2. Sasha saved the day at 2.5 miles. I was pretty pooped and he coaxed me along and I did it! I was feeling pretty bummed that I am so slow, but I looked up my results from my last OFFICIAL 5k (onion days) and I have improved. Last time I placed 99th and 13th in my division with a time of 37:18. So I really did a TON better! I am going to keep this whole running thing up and see what happens next year ;)
Oh, and for the icing on the cake, I got to ride my bike while Michelle and Sasha ran 4 more miles. I kept up, but barely. They can sure haul. My breaks are horrible on my bike, so, I was a bit afraid on the down hill.
Great day! Great fun!
