Race for the Cure

Saturday I ran a 5K...This was a huge accomplishment for me! I'm not a runner, but after my last post I deiced that if I was going to keep running I needed to RuN for a reason.  And what better reason then Celebrating the Women in my life that won their battle with Breast Cancer! 
Kurt is already gone for the summer, so I did it all by my self.  I was kind of nervous, but when I got there and saw the other 20 thousand people I knew I wasn't alone!  The run was easier then I thought it would be, the up hill part wasn't very steep and just as the arch in my left foot started to hurt I heard cheering.  The finish line was only 1/2 mile away! yahoo!  It was so exciting to finish in 36 min,  my goal was to finish in under 40 min.  I know a 12 min mile isn't all that fast, but for me it is.  It was such a great experience to be there and see all the love and support, at times it was a little emotional. 

Just before

and after

With Kurt being gone, this has giving me a goal and something to look forward to.  YeS I have been lonely and YeS I miss him, but this has been awesome for me to do by my self!  I'm going to keep running and hopefully the next race I do I'll be a few min. faster!

thanks everyone for the love and support
