The Run

Today was the run that we started training for in July. To think in July I could not run more than a minute at a time and now I have the ability to run seven miles! Anyway, of the three of us, me and Melinda did the race in Corrales today. Our third is pregnant and is having motion sickness issues. So hopefully we will all get to run together in November. Anyway, me and Melinda got up bright and early this morning for a 5k. Seeing all of the runners there was a little nerve racking but we survived! The run was about three-fourths through dirt and the rest on pavement and we had the boys running with us! Some of that dirt was soft and so bumpy, but we pulled through and finished the race strong!

Yay! We did it!

I had a really good time for the run. I finished at 28:52 and that was pushing a stroller! Overall, I got fourth in my age group. Not to shabby for my very first time out. After the race we headed off the Flying Star for breakfast and then back to the Harvest festival for some fun!

And tomorrow begins day one of half marathon training. I only have four weeks until the race!
