My husband got to stay with the kiddos last Saturday as I got up early and went to the cities to run with my friend. This is my second 5K that I have registered and ran in, but the one last summer was so hot with heat index of 110 that I didn't run the whole 5K which left me a little disappointed. So when my friend Carrie asked me to run with her in the Run or Dye I was excited! I knew for sure it wasn't going to be excessively hot and I had a chance at having a good run.
This was what we looked like before we took off. All clean and ready to run. It was only 34 degrees during our run that morning...so definately not hot by any means! My toes were froze while we waited for each heat being started. When our heat finally got to the starting line I was hoping up and down to warm up my feet to get ready to run. The run was actually very peaceful and Carrie was ahead of me the whole time, but I zone out when I run so I kept slipping into my own world and not paying attention of trying to stick with her. I did catch up to her a couple times before we finished the race though. I don't know my time, because it wasn't a serious race. It was a race to run and get dirty as they sling color your way!
All in all we had alot of fun! It was our first 5K that we ran and finished and that is something!
Lukas and Megan...just know that whatever you set your minds to...the sky is the limit and you can do it! Positive thinking, and a little bit of practice makes everything alot easier!
