5k Love Run 8/7/2010
So I'm going thru mid life crisis and have decided it was time to do something to get myself in shape. Amber & Jon having recently ran their first 10k and half marathon taught me that I can do it to.
August 7th was a donation only run for congenital heart defect research and all donations go to Doernbecher's Children's Hospital. I went around the neighborhood and was able to get a few donations to help the cause.
I ran/waled with Laura Leon - I owe her a HUGE thank your for staying by my side throughout the entire race. We kept our momentum by running 2 minutes and then walking 3 minutes. At the last leg we decided to kick it up a notch and sprint the remaining part. It's amazing how the adrenaline kicks in and I was able to accomplish my goal. Since I had never ran a race before I as just guessing a goal of completing the race in 50 minutes, however, I did it in just 44.40 Yeah!
My next goal is to run the entire 5k 10-10-10 for the Race for the Cure in Eugene.
