So tom and I ran my very first 5K yesterday morning!!! It was awesome!..the race was right along the water, and it was a gorgeous day...little cold, but the sun was shining so you didnt really notice.......Tom was an awesome support and said he didn't even have to push me or be mean lol, because I ran great and he was proud of me!!..all my workouts at the gym finally paid off!! Tom says our time was about 26 minutes.(even though they have our time as 28:38..which is not accurate because we had a bunch of slow people in front of us as we started (there were alot of people ahead of and behind us at the starting line)..so that sucked, but we just went around them. I am so proud of myself for finishing the race, not giving up, or slowing down, and I never walked any of it. It was a great feeling of accomplishment!.....now i want to do more races!!!......im already looking at one in march and april....and then May in Michigan...lol
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!...

You are freaking awesome! I once thought about trying for a race but realized I didn't have the motivation. LOL. Just doing it, training and preparing for it, and not giving up is an amazing thing! There are so many other great things I could say, but then I'd be rambling. LOL. Congrats and I wish you the best of luck in all your future races!
