Womens 5k

I had such a nice weekend.

First one in a long time where the kids didn't have anything on their schedule.

 

Melinda, my SIL, and I ran in a women's only 5k on Sunday.

I was so stinkin nervous about this run.

The course starts on a downhill and the rest was basically all uphill, there were two small flat stretches but they were very short. 

My official time was 40:02.

I could have done better but oh well.

I am not upset with my time, I mean there were a lot of hills.

We had fun even though there was supposed to be Lululemon schwag but I didn't manage to get any.

Annoyed.

Oh, I almost forgot, I signed up for a Southern Arizona Road Runners membership at the race.

Know what that means?!

I am an official runner.

I even said that to the ridiculously fit pregnant girl who had just kicked my butt in the 5k.

She gave me a pretty good chuckle then agreed that that definitely made me a runner.

 

 

Oh Friday, after packet pick up Melinda and I stopped by the Nike outlet.

I went in looking for some new carpi's but came out with a new pair of shoes.

Last week when I had tried on shoes at Fleet Feet they had recommended two different pairs.

Brooks Ghost 5, which I bought that day, and Nike Pegasus, which I hadn't bought just because everyone seems to love the brooks so I wanted to try them.

Anyway, while at the Nike Outlet I found a pair of the Nike's for only $60 so I decided that I just had to have them.

So now I have two pairs of brand new running shoes, I love buying shoes!



 

 

 

Look how cute the tech shirt from this race was.

Plus it perfectly matches my new Brooks.

Awesome!

 

Race 3 of my 13 in 2013 done!

 

Happy Monday!
