We did it!

After a couple of months of training (in the severe heat, I might add) MK and I finally ran in our first 5K! It was an awesome experience to go through together, and after the race it felt so good to have conquered it!  It was also great that we were supporting a great organization--Cancer Challenege.  Can't beat donating to a good cause.  Plus, we racked up the goodies--we both got sweet backpacks filled with little treasures!  Woo hoo! :)


Anyhow, I think we have found our latest addiction because now we want to try to beat our time (32 min 28 sec--not too bad), and then eventually we might get crazy and work up to a 10K!  We were blessed with PERFECT weather: mid-70's and cloudy!  It was unbelievable because we had been running in the upper 90's for the past 2 weeks, so it felt HEAVENLY!  Fortunately, we also didn't map out the race ahead of time, and it was probably a good thing too--the hills were much bigger than we had trained on, but as MK said during the race, "We owned them!"  Ha!  Overall, it was an awesome experience!
