We made it 5 miles.

So Lauren and I both ran the Providence Heart and Sole 5 miler today and made it! I met my goal by running it in under an hour. My time was around 52 minutes and some seconds. Let me just say that 5 miles is a lot longer on foot than it is in a car...or anything else. The first two miles were pretty good. Coming up to the 2 mile mark was cool because it was downhill and I got to high five Cocky :-) Then I turned the corner and it was a big climb up Gervais Street. That sucked majorly. That had to have been the worst part. In a nutshell, we made it though. The finish line was downhill and I even kicked it into high gear and passed some 40-somethings who had been ahead of me the whole race, haha.

Since we've been lazy for the longest time and haven't blogged in forever, I figure I'll keep it short and just post the few pictures Lauren and I took. Joeli was still coming off of her Mexico high, so she didn't join us. The next one we're gonna run, probably is the Hot Summer's Night 5k in August. I really can't wait till the Mud Run in September. That's gonna be INTENSE!


Early in the morning before the race before we got out of the car.
We were scared.



After the race, after walking around and getting our freebies (like the rose).


All smiles because the race is over :-) haha.


We decided to actually ask someone to take our picture this time instead of using self timer.
We feel accomplished :-)

Great blog, girlfriend! ;-) I'd like to add that the 78-year-old woman passed me right before the 4-mile marker point. Kudos to her though ... I sure hope I'm as energetic as she was this morning. :-D

I'm very very very proud of our running ability and our girl power. The run was so empowering! I had an amazing time. Being a woman is awesome.
