Sweethearts 5k

I finished my first 5k today. I think my time was about 28:05, but I'm not positive. That's way faster than I expected, because I'm a fairly slow runner. I ran with my dad just about the whole way, and I think we pushed each other a little bit, so that was nice. I only wanted to stop and throw up for the last half mile or so, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. :)

Here's a picture of me, Mindy, and Aubrey. I don't take very good pictures when I'm trying to hold the camera.
Here are all the girls who ran it--Geoff and Dad also ran, but Geoff was off somewhere and Dad was taking the picture.

 I can't really say it was a fun time, because I still have not fallen in love with running, but it was fun to spend time with family.  It was also nice to run with my dad the whole time, even though neither of us talk when we run (I know for me it's because I can't, I'm just concentrating on breathing).

  1. Good job! I think 5ks are fun, even though I'm not very good at them. You did a lot better than me! It would be fun to run with my immediate family, but so far I've only run one 5k with my brother Jeffrey. Nobody else seems really interested. But how fun for all of you to run together! :)

  4. I'm really proud of you... first of all, for running the dang thing, second of all for running it so fast! You went waaaay faster than you've been training. You pretty much rock. :) Love you!
