My Race!!!!

Yes I know I am crazy b/c I actually enjoy the act of running, so lets just go ahead and get that out there. It's annoying and abnormal, and a lot of people think I am insane, but it's so fun! I ran a 5k race this weekend with my best friend in OKC. Summer hated running before we met, but I made her like it :) Now she thoroughly enjoys a good run and after this weekend she can officially say that she completed her first race!!! She did amazing. On her first 5k ever she finished 4th in our age group (20-25) and 20th overall!!!! She is going to train with me for a half marathon in December. Many people have asked me if I finished in my goal time of 22:30. Unfortunately I didn't, but I wasn't to disappointed. I ended up placing 1st in my age group and 2nd female overall. My final time was 23:06. It was nice to hear that others thought the course was pretty hilly and a little rough. All in all it was so fun and exhilarating. I love the thrill of sprinting for the end and crossing the finish line. It really helps you to understand Hebrews 12:1-2. I always write that on my running bib before I race. It reminds me of who gave me the ability to run and what this race in life is all about. Enjoy the pics

Me and Summer before the race warming up

I am on the far right rounding the first corner

This is the home stretch towards the finish line

At this point I am pretty much in a dead sprint trying to catch the girl in first place.

Summer and I after the race!

My hubby is such a great supporter! He took pictures and cheered me on

It is so great to finally have him home again!!!!

This is me receiving my medal

It was such a fun weekend, and I can't wait for the next race!!!!
