I ran in another 5K yesterday. Scott hurt his calf last week, so came to cheer me on and take some pictures. I’ve decided that I should always run in 5K runs that are paired with longer runs (there was also a 10K). The longer race skims the really good runners out of my race, and I feel all the more impressive at the end. In this case, out of 60 or so runners, I finished 15th overall, and was the fourth woman across the finish line. I only took about 40 seconds off my time, but I’m proud to say I didn’t walk at all.
At the beginning of the race:
At the 2-mile marker:
And at the end.

You are a bad ass! and 40 seconds is a lot. You should be very proud of yourself.

Go Speedy Spice! Amy seems to have caught the running bug. She even suggested that we get up at 6 AM on a Saturday for an early race in a couple weeks.
Alas, I am still on injured reserve. I’ve pulled my calf muscle twice in the past month while running.

You go, Amy!
