race day

The big day is here, and the race was this morning. At 9:00 we gathered at VMRC to begin the 5k. I was all prepared with lucky number 24 pinned to my shirt. The plan was to walk for 2 minutes then run for 3. I would repeat this 7 times and finish with a time around 35minutes. I started with walking and let the serious runners take the lead. It was a little different running outside and on the road. But i adapted. There was one lady who was running at a similar pace. I would pass her when I ran then she'd pass me when I walked. I let her stay in the lead for the last half of the race, till it was time to run my last interval. Then I passed her and kept running till I crossed the finish line. My time was 36.04. I'm really happy with it and can't wait to keep training and improve on it.

Snaps to Mom for a really yummy breakfast after the race. And Snaps to Mike, Patty, Audrey, and Amy for completing the 5k! Good Jorb!
