So about 4 weeks ago, I decided to train for a 10 k. I was a runner in middle school and a bit in high school, but haven't run anything over a mile in YEARS. We are going on a cruise in September...and I had my Cray last September...and I wanted to get my beach body back. So I made a goal and started training. Thanks to lots of help from Nana for babysitting and Shay for spending mornings home feeding Cray I was able to train. Saturday was the race. In practice I had been averaging about 10 minute miles...so that was my goal for the race. However I had never run anything over 4.5 miles in my training...so I added a few minutes to my goal making it about 62 minutes. Plus...the race starts on a huge uphill and then has a large downhill as well. So I beat my goal! I finished the race in 58:30 and was stoked! I couldn't be more excited, but now I want to do another one! I want to compete in triathlons and keep training! Let's just say I got the bug.
Sheesh...all over.
Me and my boys after the race.
My parents rode up for the weekend to see me run...haha...ya right...they of course came to see Cray Man. But it was nice to have some extra faces at the finish line. Here is them leaving on the Harley. Ya...my mom is wearing leather chaps...HA...love it.
