My First Race

Well, here it is, my first race EVER! The Midnight 5K.

(To get a closer look at the scrapbook page just click on it!)


Craig and the kids came to cheer me on even though Lizzi fell asleep. The race was actually a bit more challenging than I thought it would be. It was super dark outside because the moon didn't come out. We all had little LED headlamps but sometimes that didn't help much. We were running through a golf course and it was ALL HILLS! Nothing flat! Besides the fact that it wore me out almost instantly, the hills would suddenly pop up and I ended up tripping over them.

Overall, this was a great experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. In fact I am probably going to do the next 10K I can find!

Race results: I took 27th place in the womens overall ( out of 115) and 13th in my age group (25-29).
