Harvest Run

Today was race day! It was really foggy and a little wet but was perfect for the run, not too hot or cold. I'm not sure you can see too well in the picture but the leader on the bike had long pink hair and wings. At least it's halloween right!


I completed my first race and first 10k all in the same day! My time was 1:04:41. I beat my goal of doing it around 1:05 so I'm pretty happy considering I've never done this before. Micheal and Clayton ran with me at the end so that was fun too.

There were 6 sisters (including myself) from my ward that all trained and ran the 10k together. And...the Relief Society Pres. was there to cheer us on at the finish line and then ran the 5k herself. It was so great to do this with so many friends. We were there to keep each other moving and motivate each other to endure to the end. The bishop is a runner too so he said that he was really excited that we have a running group with lots of first timers, he says that once you get one race under your belt, you are hooked. We'll see...

I am glad that it was on Halloween morning because I finally have something orange and black to wear for halloween (I do not dress up) and I can eat chocolate tonight without guilt:)!
