5K

I did a 5K today! Jason has wanted me to do one of these forever. I'm not much of a runner, but decided to make this a surprise. He didn't find out until 10 minutes before we left this morning!

I made it in 29 mins and 3 seconds. Not bad for a first timer. I know it's not a big thing, but I am pretty stinkin proud of myself. I have to admit, tho, I was trying really hard not to pass out here at the start line. (Don't know if you can see me... grey tank top, dead center with my hands clasped together in terror.) You can click on the pictures to zoom in if you want to see me better!



My adoring fans.
I'm second from the left. I passed her before the finish line. : )

Just to the right of the yellow Jeep.

Victory pose! My hair kind of looks like a dandelion, but that's okay.

It was so fun to have my parents come. Thanks Mom and Dad!

I was warned this might happen, but I think I want to do another one! We'll see!
