Pumpkin Push 5K

It was pouring down rain this morning and we still got out there and ran...with about 730 other crazy people. This was the first of my 7 5Ks that Tim actually ran with me. It was fun to do it together. Our friends Christa and Leo joined in the wet fun too. The race was around Seward Park and then up into the middle. The hill was brutal and killed my time. I am just thankful I survived and finished the darn thing. Didn't even throw up this time! 31.29 Following the race, in our soaking wet clothes, looking like drowned rats, the 4 of us went out for breakfast. That was the best part of the morning! :)
My best 5k time is the Haunted Hustle that I did just 2 short weeks ago with Kaitlyn and Charlie. I finally broke the 10 minute mile and finished in 30:34 - that's a 9:52 mile. I'm not going to win any prizes, but it is a heck of an accomplishment considering 7 months ago I couldn't run around the block! :)
