Last night I did a little 5K in downtown K-zoo. It was a fundraiser for the local food shelter. I went with a great friend. She is actually the first person that I met in K-zoo and got me to start running. We have done several races together, but haven't run together in several months because our lives have been so crazy...
I have taken a little time off running since the spring and didn't even do a half marathon this fall. I have been doing lots of weight training... (hopefully all these sore hamstring days will make me faster!!!) I must say that I was a little nervous about running another race because I feel that I ran the last half so fast that I will never be able to make that time again. Being the competitive person that I am, I would be devastated to not do the same or better... Last night cured me and now I can't wait to run again. It felt awesome to be in a crowd with so many great people. I knew quite a few people there from my past running camps and gym.
Here are a few pics of my very first race. It was a 5K. It feels great to have completed several more 5 K's, a 10 K and 4 half marathons in the last 3 years!!!! What is next????
