I did it!

I did a 5K this morning...last minute decision, with my little sister, and little brother and his wife...we rocked it!  It was mostly fun, and I'm not terribly crippled yet...so I guess I survived.  LOL!

We did a 'trial run' on Saturday (because I haven't gone running for about 2 years), which left me aching and dreading the 'race'...but looking at the moment (all forty-five minutes of it) it wasn't as bad as it could have been!  Despite the two inches of mud and gravel for 2.5 miles of it, I didn't die, and I didn't have to crawl across the finish line.

More updates and pictures when I can get home to my own computer.  :)

***I should clarify...I never said I ran the whole thing.  I ran the first 3/4 mile, than walked/jogged, mostly walked the rest. It was brutal...those muddy hills were hard...and there were a lot of them!!!***

I am SOOOOO impressed! Way to go! I still haven't gotten the courage to try one. I even signed up for one in May, but then we had to leave town so I got out of doing it. Whew.... LOL! But really you are AWESOME to me!

You are so awesome! Running a 5K after two years of not running, that is amazing! Can't wait to see the pictures.
