Today I completed my first post-Miles 5K. I did the Kirkwood-Webster Connection Run 5K this morning. I've done this race a few times now and it's one of my favorites because it's so close to home and there are a lot of down hills! My friend Mona (this was also her first race back post-baby) and I stuck together the whole time, and it was great because she pushed me to run faster than I expected to, especially in the brutally hot conditions! I was really happy with my result time of 27:10 for being my first 5K back. Also, it was great to have some spectators. Mom and Dad surprised me by being along the race course. They were waiting at the top of a hill, so it was just the pick up I needed! Also, Brandon and the kids were close to the finish line. It was great to hear Bennett yelling, "Go Mommy Go!" :) Of course, we had to celebrate by going out to breakfast afterwards with Mona, Drew and Cecelia. All in all, a successful day!
you two are quite motivating! nice work!
