Memorial Day 10k

I ran my very first 10k (6.2 miles) race Memorial day weekend! It was totally spur of the moment, and I wasn't prepared for it, but I got through it, and beat my goal even! My sister in law, Jolene, was asked by a friend if she wanted their spot two days before the race. After listening to her talk about it and hanging out with her the night before, I decided I wanted to do it too! So that morning I went and registered and it was a done deal! While there I ran into a friend that comes to my aerobics classes, and her parents were sweet enough to take pictures of me too! So the finish line pics and running pic are from them.( Jolene's and my husbands were fishing with their dad, so that it why we didn't have our own documentation! :) ) We did think clearly enough to take our own pics after the race! It was a ton of fun, and a really well put together race.... I look forward to beating my time on the 4th of July when I run my next 10k!!!
