First Race of the season!

In an earlier post I talked about joining a runners training group! Well I finished and we raced at the end of May. It was a lot of fun. Below is a picture of most of our group. I am pretty much smack dab in the middle. It was a huge race with thousands of runners....I didn't even get to the starting line until over a minute after the gun went off.

Tired and hot mamma after the race....I am glad I had a cheering squad!

Since this race I have run another 5k (3.1 miles) on my old Cross Country course I ran in high school. It's one of the most challenging courses here in new England. I am glad I did it....but my time was pathetic. I did a lot of reminiscing. My Best friend Crystal did xc in highschool with me. So I was definitely missing her on this race, and wished she was there to run it with me.

I also just ran a 5.2 mile race this past Saturday, it was a last minute decision. I have only ran that distance twice this season, while in training for the 5k. But I thought heh, why not??? I am really happy with my time, considering the lack of training for it. I did it in 1hr 8 min.
