This is the first chance I've had to post, but I completed my first 5K on Saturday! Man, it was hard, but such a RUSH to finish. And speaking of the finish ~ my run time was 32:59! I'm so proud!!

Here is a pic from that morning, with hubby...

Hi Paul!

Number 2 is on 6/23. I actually signed up for that one first, but finished my training over a month ago and was getting itchy to run. My niece signed up for this one to get out of her gym final and I decided to run with her. It was very impromptu!

Considering that I am almost strictly a treadmill runner, I was thrilled by that time, hills and all ;)
