I have to say that I felt fairly calm going into it. It wasn't at all how I felt when I went into my first 5k. I think back then, I wasn't sure if I could actually do it. This time, I knew that I could in fact handle the run, as long as my foot held out.
Happily it did!!!
The picture above, is me and my friend Kim. She is one of my greatest inspirations. And especially after looking at us in this picture, I really hope to become just like her. Just a pound or two separate us...don'tcha think? Seriously, I really have been grateful for her encouragement.
At the finish, with Kim and my friend Marie.
It was such a great day for a run, and though today, I'm really feeling the strain that I put my body through it was worth it and I would absolutely do it again.
Alex and Eric watched as kid after kid came in and crossed the finish line, and now have decided that the next time I run, they want to join me. I'm thinking that sounds like a fantastic idea. So, it might just be the 5k in Heber for Swiss Days.

I am so proud of you! You had to overcome MORE than just the miles in order to finish. I know you debated whether or not to do it given your foot problems but I'm glad you chose to go anyway.
PS- I'd LOVE to look as good as Kim and Marie too. Sigh. Congrats to you!
I so glad you did another one!! Way to go! (I haven't run in quite some time.) :)
I deleted my last (second) comment due to a late night typo.
Now I see that it was a 10K. Wow!
Btw, I've been thinking about getting Adam and Chase together soon.
