The Race

August 3rd my friends talked me into doing a 10K race with them.  Now keep in mind that I don't exercise regularly and I am so out of shape.  The two or three weeks before though these same friends were getting me out.  Yep, I am so not self motivated but will do it when my friends call.  I told you have have great friends.  Anyway, below is the route we had to run. 

There were over 100 people there so right at the get go I got separated from my running partners Christine and Lana.  I just kept going though.  I ended up running with a kid most of the way.  He liked to sprint then walk and I tried to keep my pace steady so we kept passing each other.   We stuck together until that last lap around the track when he took off.  That was a killer lap.  I finished with my friends right behind me.  ;)

After the 10 K Race:

Look at that I'm still breathing.....and smiling!!!  

 All of us made it!  

 Check this out!  Each of us even placed in our age groups.   I got 1st in mine.  Alisha got 1st and Lana got 2nd with Lu getting first and Christine getting 2nd.  We couldn't believe it and we were all pretty proud or ourselves.  ;)  Now if I could just keep this up.  Ha!

 Thanks to the ASNOC for putting this race on.  Thanks to my friends for encouraging me to do it!
