Today I decided to do the Beat the New Year 5k, and I'm glad I did! It was fun! I liked racing in the dark. It was an easy course, just 2 laps around sugarhouse and a little out and back on a small road inside the loop. The food I ate right before wasn't settling too great. I felt like I went fast, I wish they had times. Maybe it really wasn't that fast, I don't really know. But I worked the whole thing, when Bill and his full costume passed me I tried to go with. He told me that it was the time to race (this was the second lap). When people were cheering for me saying "yay first girl" I finally believed I could be the first girl. Coming back from the out and back part I saw the second girl and told myself there was no way she was catching me, and she didn't! Felt like a good race, and a fun one too. Plus I got a $100 gift card so that made me happy.
