Yeah! I finally did it! I have been wanting to enter a 5k for about the last two years, but never conditioned myself enough to feel confident in doing it. This time the opportunity came and I embraced it. It's been hard to train outdoors for it because mother nature doesn't seem to want to let go of winter. In fact the morning of the race, it was 30 degrees outside and the wind was 17 mph, so you figure out the wind chill. It was cold! My family was a champ to come out and support me. I know they would have enjoyed staying in their warm beds. That morning, I even thought of staying in bed.
Believe it or not, our camera died (without any warning). It was getting old, but it still was sad that we didn't get one of me crossing the finish line. But I promise I crossed. I am now totally hooked on the thrill that you get as you cross the finish line. I love the natural high that comes with running. I hope that it's the beginning of many races to come!

Congratulations on the race! Let's have a family 5k sometime!
