Last Saturday was my big 5K. I had so much fun. My sister and brother-in-law ran it too. We all lined up at the starting line and when they said "Go" I was so excited I just took off and ended up losing them in the crowd. I wrote about how much I love my ipod. One of the best things about running with it is that I focus on the songs instead of how tired I am or how my side is cramping. Well I forgot to charge it before the race so after half of an All American Rejects song it died. Luckily I still had the excitement of the race to spur me on.
My two goals going into the race were to do it in 30 minutes and to run the whole way without stopping. I made it in 34 minutes. A little above my goal, but I was still really proud of my time. And I did run the whole way. Toward the end I thought about stopping to walk, but then I realized my legs were almost numb anyway, so I may as well keep going. I guess I did take a couple walking steps after I grabbed a cup of water to take a quick drink and make sure my cup got in the garbage can. So many people just threw their cups on the ground. That is so rude. It's not like it was such a big race that we couldn't all take a minute to throw our own garbage away.
Look at me running to victory. I had to push that little girl down to beat her across the finish line. Just kidding.

This was my fan club. My parents were also there cheering us on. Carrie wouldn't get out of bed.
Emma has been a good training partner. She was in a bit of a daze at the race though.
We laughed when we got there and saw that our numbers were 4,5,6. I kept looking for 1, 2 and 3, but I never found them.

After the race we went to Golden Corral for their breakfast buffet. I had heard it was delicious and it did not disappoint. The best part was that their ice-cream machines are on. So you get a delicious breakfast then some ice-cream to top it off.
So now I'm trying to figure out what to do next. Should I do another 5K and go for a better time, or should I go for a 10K? You may cast your vote.
