My First & Last 5k

I've been wanting to do a 5k for a while but just haven't done it.  When my friend, Carrie, text me about a Glo Run, I was on it.  It sounded like fun and I really wanted to see if I could do it or not.  I text back immediately and told her I was in.

Tonight was the night.  I haven't run in a week and a half and I never run outside.  Not exactly what you call prepared.  I can run a long time on a treadmill b/c the pace is set for me.  Something about outside makes it so hard for me to run.  I really didn't know what to expect.

All my church friends...love this group...

Christa, Carrie & I decided to start the race together and then just do our own thing as needed.  I'm sure they were so happy that I picked up some glow accessories for all of us.  Carrie may forget to invite me next year...

I was telling the girls before the race that this was going to be my first & last 5k.  Mallory informed me that this was only the start of a new addiction. Mallory & her cute kiddos... 

Carrie & Kayla getting their jams ready...

At the starting line...

I finished in just over 35 minutes.  I had to walk several times.  Christa & Carrie quickly left me in the dust. After the race with Carrie...

Sarah was so sweet to run with me for probably the first mile...

I had to inform Mallory after the race that she was very wrong.  5ks will definitely not be an addiction.  Good times with the girls, but been there, done that.
