5k!

Saturday after the Air Force ball I "ran" my first 5k.  The Diva Dash!  Ran is stretching it but I did run some and there were obstacles!  I am so glad I did it. I have never ran/walked 3.1 miles in my entire life. Well ok at Disneyland or the fair somewhere completely by accidnet and maybe even then not all at once without a break of some sort.  I didn't prep for it at all. That is the only thing I would change.  The weather was great I ran with 25 or so of my closest friends -go team Girlz on fire!- there is no way I would have made it through without two of these ladies specifically Vicky Egbert and Brittany Gilbert. They stayed with me the whole time even though I know they could've gone faster without me.  Their support and encouragement meant the world to me.  I don't think they will ever know how truly grateful I was.  Then the entire team waited for us just before the finish line so we could cross together.  That part made me cry. Dumb I know but what can I say I am a crier.  After the race we all went to cracker barrel for lunch.  That was the best part of the day. :) my body wasn't too bad.  I was good and sore for about 4 days afterwards but no nearly as bad as I expected.  All in all a great experience and I will definitely do another one.  
The team. 
My running buddies!
