Run For Mercy - 5K - April 19, 2008

Okay, I have been casually training for a while, and now is the day to apply it all.
I was running/walking the 5K in 45 minutes. My goal was to do it in 30-35 minutes.

Today, I ran the 5K in 35 minutes, 23 seconds!!

Here are the pictures of the very cold morning!

(Cloudy and about 42 degrees with a cold wind! Ugh!)

It all started at 6:45am by drinking some hot "Refresh" tea at Starbucks!
...and a little hangman with Ben!

There is the start/finish line!


Putting on my official number! - 610 -


Ben was cold and tired , I was cold and nervous, and Dave was cold and volunteering!
Dave handed out free coffee at the Starbucks table.


8:00am - It's about time to go - getting the ipod set! My music of choice - Nick Lachey!

I finished - cold, sweaty, tired, proud!

I did it! My first 5K! I feel like I will probably do it again, sometime!

Hey! That was fun! Where's the picture of you and Ben and me? I can't believe I walked/ran it in 42 minutes! Although I'm going to give myself 40, since I stopped and talked to Kristin for a minute as she was leaving, and had to go back to the finish line. LOL!
