I ran a benefit 5K for a little boy with a brain tumor this morning in Hooper and I enjoyed every second! I invited a few people to run with me and three of them backed out via text message in the middle of the night hmmm... interesting! I was pretty bummed when I showed up by myself and didn't know anyone but I ran into a girl that was in our ward 10 years ago and she was so sweet to let me run with her! She is seriously the cutest, We caught up on so much and it was so good to hear about her kids! She also distracted me and made me realize that when you have something to think about and nothing to worry about, the time goes by much faster! Her brother was so sweet, when we took our last turn and could see the finish, he ran the rest with us! (he'd already finished several minutes before us) What a sport!
I was shocked when we finished and I wasn't completely exhausted, it was such a good feeling!! However I was even more shocked when I heard our time ... 29:50 ... seriously? That's 11 whole minutes knocked off from the last race I ran ... WaHoO ... YaHoO.. HoLLa!!! I was so excited! Like I've said before my goal for the summer was to beat 28 minutes ... I'm well on my way! Bring on another 5K or two .... :)
