I just ran my first 5K yesterday and what an experience it was! We had very unusual weather for May - cold and rainy. And I don't mean just sprinkling - it was pouring down rain. I suppose in a way it was a good thing because it made us run faster! My friend, Brandi, and I ran the route last weekend to make sure we could even run that far. Our time then was about 42 minutes but our time at the race was 34:34! That's pretty good for us! Even though I was totally dreading running in the bad weather, I'm so glad I did and it was actually a lot of fun! Plus, the proceeds went to a great cause - cystic fibrosis. Here's a few pics from the run...
You couldn't miss Brandi and me in our pink rain ponchos! This is a pic of us with Jennifer Palmer. The race was actually held in memory of her sweet daughter, Haley, who lost her battle with CF a few years ago. Jennifer has amazing strength and always has a smile on her face. She's a true inspiration to all who come across her path.
Post race - sopping wet but we did it!!!
