This was one crazy run! The 3.1 miles included several hills, one that was not steep but really LONG and steady. Then, just when you think you are free and the finish line is almost in sight, you turn a corner and there is one last steep hill. Ugh! This hill almost got me, but I pushed through and finished. I ran the entire 3.1 miles. I was so freaking proud of myself! Kaitlyn and my friend Emily ran with me. It was awesome. Kaitlyn came in about 10 minutes before I did, but Emily stayed with me the whole race. After the race we went out for a much deserved breakfast celebration including Mimosas!
I have already signed up for my next 5K run - The Shore Run on June 10th.
