My first 5K

This past Sunday, Joe and I and a couple of friends ran in the Shoreline Classic 5K.  It was the first time I had EVER ran.  We started a training program that they put together back in June to start getting ready for this race.  It was every Thursday and we started out running a mile then it increased slowly every week.  They also told us what to do the rest of the week.  Joe and I started off really good and following the program and then it got SO hot.  So I slacked off cause I couldn't run in the heat or take the baby out in it either.  I also had some problems with runners knee and shin splints.  That also took away some motivation, but I would still go most Thursdays.  So race day came and it was in the 60's and of course right before the race started it started to rain!  Sheree's mom watched Luke while we ran.  They had to sit in the car because of the rain, so he didn't get to see me cross the finish line (bummer).  I was so proud of myself when I finished, even if it took me 48 minutes.  Maybe I will keep doing 5K's....

woohoo!  I got a medal and everything!
