I signed up for this race on a whim thinking it would be really fun. I tried to rally all my neighbor friends to do it with me, but none of my friends run. The one that did couldn’t do it. I decided to go with a few girls who didn’t even run, thinking it would still be way fun to go and walk. One by one people dropped out and sold their tickets and so it was just me and my friend Ashley. She was never a runner, but started like a month before this race. She got so good, so fast! I am so proud of Ashley because she went from nothing to like 10 miles in 6 weeks. This race was only a 5k and we did awesome!
I think our time was like 30-35 minutes, but I am not positive because there are no clocks or timers for this race. We got slowed down by crowds and stopping for color bomb stations, plus half the race was uphill and all wacky I swear. We still managed a fairly good time. I was so lazy and had only been running like 4 or 5 times in the last year basically (prego - then post Owen + laziness) but I did just fine. I guess once you are a runner, it’s way easier to pick back up again.
Clint came as our photographer with the boys and I’m so glad he did! I felt kind of dumb being the subject of a billion photos since I’m usually the one taking them, but we had a blast.
