First 5K

I have decided that I would like to run a 5K this year.  One of my friends from work is a runner and has even fun a couple of half marathons.  I mentioned to her that I would like to start running and she is helping me set up some training schedules.

I signed the two of us and another friend up for the Essential Hope Springs 5K.  I had hoped to run at least part of this. But, the Minnesota weather had other plans.  We actually had a blizzard with over 18 inches of snow one week before the race!

The three of us walked the race and ran the last 2/10 of a mile, so we could cross the finish line running!

I had SO much fun and am looking forward to the next race.  We have a couple more lined up for this summer!
