this morning, ran it in 71:40. A little above my goal, I wanted to be under 70, but that can be my goal for the next one! Great to have done it, and , had anyone told me even last summer that I would have done this I wouldnt have believed them, in fact, I would have laughed at them. Last summer When I started C25K I couldnt run the 1 minute in week one without feeling like I would die. This morning I ran over 71 mins , and RAN every bit, even hills.

here is a pic of my friend Jenn and I prior to start of the race.

    I almost did! and it isnt like it was close by, she had to get up early and drive to seattle about a 35 , 40 min drive from where she lives. Too Sweet! she runs, so she knows what its like to have someone there, She asked me last week if my family will be there, and they couldnt cause my little guy had a baseball game, so I told her no. She was kind enough to be my cheerleader!
