today, i am running my first 5k along with a couple friends! and i am ExCiTeD!. a 5k is 3.1 miles. i like to run about 3 miles regularly, HOWEVER, i am going to start increasing my mileage for more of a challenge and because i can and i want to see what i can do with this body i have been granted rent of.
this race is fall themed and there will be costumes and live music at the finish. a festive ocassion really. oh yea...
and an update:
the race was a LOT of fun. we ran 9-something minute miles. i like running with a crowd. it gets backed up sometimes but that's alright. and the cheering ppl on the sidelines are encouraging. running along with others helps with the motivation. now it's time to step it up. a 10k perhaps soon? i hope so. i ran with three other friends. drew got ahead of us, but jenna, krista, and i stayed on pace together. we're gonna do more races. we decided. there were some funny costumes. some guy ran in a jaws costume so u saw a big felt shark head and then some hairy legs. three other guys did a chariot thing. two guys were horses and then there was the roman guy behind them. overall it was a good time. drew went as a swede in the colors of the swedish flag...ha...and jenna krista and i were ninjas. hardcore i know. too bad we didn't take any pictures. oh well. love.
