Our first ever 5K!!

A few weeks ago we signed up to run our first 5K and what better way to do it than as a couple! We ran it with several friends which made for a great time! As a girl I had to treat myself to a new running outfit for the run... since I usually run in whatever is clean and not very fashionable!

But wouldn't you know when we got there they gave us free t-shirts for participating so we couldn't help but all be matchies! The run was simply fantastic!! My hubs and I didn't run together as he's quite a bit faster than I, but our awesome friends Joe and Diana stayed together and looked awesome as they finished! This was a first for ALL of us so we were all pretty stoked!! The run was so relaxing... we ran on gravel and pavement at times. The start of the run was along a stream then took a turn around a field of cows and finally back along the stream to the finish line. It was the most relaxing run, but I found it extremely hard to set my pace and dare say it took me probably atleast a mile into it! Lots of fast runners were passing by which reaked havic in my mind for the first bit until I was able to set my pace and get comfy! It was really nice... I was mid pack with lots of space around me to just relax and run... simply awesome! The best feeling in the world was rounding the corner to the finis line! As soon as I turned and spotted the finish I sprinted... looking to my left there was my wonderful husband cheering me all the way to the finish line... it felt amazing! So excited to start preparing for a 10K and many more to come!
