Super Bowl 5k Run

No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you that is actually me in the picture below. I have gotten back into running and hooked up with an awesome trainer. I have been training since Christmastime.

This is me just about ready to cross the finish line...VERTICALLY! Abbie is in the purple cheering me on! My goal was to run the 5k (3.1 miles) in under 40 minutes. My official time was 36:01 which averages out to about a 12 minute mile. I came in 8th out of 13 in my age bracket, so I didn't come in last...my other goal.

Despite the rain, cold, and occasional flooding on the Riverwalk I had a great time and quite proud of myself. I am so thankful for my family supporting me in my endeavors. This is just the beginning!
