New 5K PR!

I ran the Northside Stride 5K today, which benefitted the Marcia Mounsey Foundation. They help kids in northwest Denver afford art, music, and sports activities that they otherwise wouldn't be able to participate in. Anyway, I finished in 28:01! That may not sound very fast to some of you serious runners out there, but my goal was to finish sub-30 so I am really excited! Colorado Springs 10K Calssic, here I come!!!

Dan didn't run. We were going to do a couples 10K tomorrow, but he wasn't really too into it so I didn't make him. He is getting back into running though. He's always been an awesome runner...you know, one of those people who can run fast without training much. I'm so jealous.

Good job, breaking thirty is pretty fast. A lot of people can't run sub 10 minute miles.

Thanks! I just found out that I came in 4th in my age group!!! It was a pretty small race, but that made me really happy!
