My first 10k

Yesterday was the big day of the 10k. I was feeling really sick to my stomach and nervous about doing it. I honestly was worried I wouldn't be able to run the whole thing like I wanted to. Mainly because I am not a runner. I really wish I was but I don't go and do it everyday, I would much rather do my turbo kick class or go hiking or backpacking. The best part of the race was that Jake made me a playlist on my Ipod and put in some really motivational songs followed by some funny songs that gave me a good laugh. It was a great day and I was able to run the whole thing without stopping. It felt so good be in control of my body and be able to feel proud of myself for accomplishing my goal.

My great friend Whitney did the 5k race with her husband. I couldn't talk her into the 10k but maybe next time :) Also, my good friends Danielle and Stephanie ran the 5k as well. Bummer that I didn't get a picture of all of us.

Jake had to take a picture of me at the starting line. Everyone around me was super fit and into running as fast as they could.

This was the finish line, the girl in front of me hurried and passed me at the very end. I was sort of bugged but o well, I had passed her earlier.

1 hour and 5 minutes later I got to take a break it was a fun day and I hope to work up to a possible half marathon. We will see how it goes.
