Ran my first 5K! Great race despite the difficult night of staying up with sick kids until 2:00 am and had to be at the race at 5:30 am. Then Dustin set the alarm for 4:45 pm not am and we were lucky that he suddenly woke up at 5:28 am. We made a mad dash to get dressed and over to the bus. Got there as the last buses where getting ready to pull out. Nice morning a bit on the chilly side though. No wind that was the best!! I was really impress let alone surprised with my times. I did not realize that I was going that fast. I got a silver medal for taking 2nd place in my age division. I am glad that I signed up and did it!

Time: 26:11

Sunny! Holy cow woman, that is a great time for your first 5K! And winning a medal too? Clearly you've got talent! Between you and Dustin your kids are going to be speed demons!

This was an AMAZING first race! I think we may have a new addict on our hands here! Fun to see you today- CONGRATS!

Excellent performance in your first 5K! *applause*

Sounds like the struggles to get to the race certainly equaled the challenges of the 5K. Way to persevere and see yourself through to the finish. And winning a medal in your first race to boot!
