We ran the first mile pretty good, which I was surprised because when I got work out in the mornings at Summit I usually walk for a tenth of the mile in the middle but I ran the whole thing. I know that is lame but every since High School I have not been to good at running. The next mile Nicole starting to cramp up cause it was pretty hot outside so we decided to walk for while, and then I started cramping up and Bonnie just kept right on running like a machine haha. We walked most of the second mile and then after we started to feel better we ran the whole last mile. About halfway through the last mile Bonnie came running back after us haha yeah she is the oldest out of us all and she still kicked our butts haha.
I am really glad I did it because now I know I can. When I went to the gym this morning I ran two miles without stopping at all that is really good for me, once I get into my rhythm I am fine I figure out.
After the 5 K I felt really good about myself, I even sprinted the last leg of it. Bonnie was a running champ and I am pretty sure she could of ran it twice in the time I did. My final time was about 34 minutes. I got third in my age group. The coolest part though was I GOT A MEDAL. Yup, a real life medal. I was pretty proud of myself. Ok, so it was just a finishing medal but I still thought it was cool and walked around the rest of the day wearing it. Moss thought it was really funny and his family thought I was weird.
After the race there was a drawing and we all won something. Nicole got a water bottle and a free pass to Acceleration, Bonnie got 5 bucks to Fazolis and I got a really cool one, five free smoothies at the Orange Pill any size. I am really excited for those cause they are usually like 5 dollars so yeah its a pretty good deal.
Moss was so proud of me, although he refused to come cheer me on, I don't know why this was a huge race, I mean 3 miles that is a long time:) Love ya Honey!
Bonnie and my sisters and Mom are going to do another one the end of this month but I am going to be up North at Jays wedding so I will just have to wait for another one to come up! I will keep ya posted!
