This is us right after the starting line.
Yesterday I completed my first race and had a lot of fun doing it! It was part of my new year's goal to have a healthier mind, body and spirit in 2010. What made it even better was getting to run with friends and knowing that others were there cheering us on (and had just run a much longer race right before us ... 15K for them, 5K for me).
Carter and Jeff ran the 15K, and Brittany, Will and I ran the 5K. Jane, Byers and Kenzo were all there to cheer us on (and to take photos). The weather was cold and rainy, but definitely still worth it.
We had a great rest of the weekend hanging out with our fun Davidson friends! A few more photos to come from the weekend.
(All photos, except for the last one, were taken by Kenzo).
Me, in blue, crossing the finish line! (The time says 42:27, but we started at 6 min, so I was happy with the 12 min mile pace).
Will, Brittany and me after the race.
Davidson runners of the day (green=5K; black = 15K) . . . that's a lot of miles!
