I did it!

So I wanted to post that I actually finished my 10k race. It was more fun than I thought it would be. Running in the mornings is great, but there was an energy at the race that made it a little more exciting. Michelle was my running partner and she was awesome. We kept encouraging each other. We started in the back, and lost a little time at the begining but I think we made up for it. We finished in 55 min and 22 seconds. Not bad, we took off about 5 minutes from our usual time, so we were happy. Running has been really great for me. I feel more healthy now. We are going to keep running in the mornings, but I haven't decided about the half marathon yet, the 10k was painful enough. Oh, please don't get alarmed about how white my legs are, Michelle makes it worse by being so tan. I think I will try to get a little sun before the summer is over. Oh, and Justin didn't really get a good picture of me finishing the race. You can barely see me behind the woman in front.
