A SPRING IN OUR STEP

About a month ago we decided to run a 10K! We heard about the Cresent City Classic and found out that a few of our friends would be running it too. We had a GREAT time! It was the day before Easter and we figured it would be a great start to the new season. It made for some funny people watching too. There were people dressed as Easter Bunnies and Chicks and even a banana! (not sure how that one ties into the season...)

When the race started it was PACKED with people. It felt like we were in a stampede. At one point I turned to John and yelled "What are we running away from?" haha But it started to thin out as the race went on and we held our own pretty well. John was a big support and stayed with me the whole time. I'm not sure what John really thinks, but as for me, "to me we doth not stink." (Book of Mormon reference...anyone catch that? hehe) So ya, I think we kept a pretty good pace the whole time. And just in case some of you don't "habla the metric system" a 10K is 6.2miles. Our finishing time you ask?

....drum roll...

1 hour and 4 minutes!

Yay! We might not have given the Kenyans a run for their money, but we were still pretty proud of ourselves. Kim's favorite part of the race? John calling me "hard core" for still running even though I think I had a stress fracture in my right foot. It hurt like crazy after the race - but amazingly it has completely healed now. So after resting my foot all last week, you better believe that I'll be back to my normal workout schedule again tomorrow. That's right baby - Me at the gym at 6am workin it out while watching Saved By the Bell. I call it my "me" time, and I absolutely love it. But what I love even more? Having actually accomplished something I set out to do. Sometimes it seems like I have a hundred unfinished projects going on, but this was something I actually completed. And better yet? John and I finished it together. So cool.

Here are a few wonderfully sweaty pictures from the end of the race ;)
