Today I got up and ran a race. I guess I'm kinda proud of myself. For the past 6 weeks I have been pretty faithful in going to the gym and running 10 to 18 miles a week (on 3 different days). I heard about this fun little 8 km run, so I thought I'd do it. It gave me some motivation to get in shape. I haven't run a race since last July 1st, and I was 5 months pregnant for that one and it was just 5 km. The last time I ran over 8 km was when I was running cross country for the college before I was married! I hate to say it, espspeically to any Baldry marathon runners and my sis Brooke who is training for one, but this was a big deal for me. I was happy with my time 38 min and 41 seconds if anyone cares. It was good and I'm glad I did it, but I'm not sure I see that half marathon this summer in my future. So, of course you know me, here's some pictures from the day.
Don't worry I stepped it up and beat that girl in front of me :)
I ran the first few kms with Brooke's old roomate Janae, then I guess she decided to try, so she left me.
Alli was a good fan cheering me on.
Derek had to work, so once again, thank you to Susie for babysitting and taking pictures.
