*My First 10K*

I did my first 10k in Kanab, Saturday, May 7.  I can't believe I took on a 10k.  Never thought I would be running a 10k, 6.2 miles straight. I'm so proud of myself for doing it and I'm looking forward to getting better and better. I didn't get the greatest sleep the night before.  Adler doesn't do well without his own bed and he ended up in bed with us and then I ended up on the floor and then Adler fell of the bed and then I switched places with Artie and so on and so on...LOL. I only got about 5 hours of sleep and I don't function well without sleep....haha.  When the race first started I was cold and tired and like what am I thinking...my body is not going to move.  I felt soooo tired when I started running.
 BUT- I did it and under an hour which was my goal.  I was hoping for faster, but oh well.  I had a fun first 10k.  Erica was snapping pics of me as I went around the last corner..haha.....and then she,Artie and the kids met me at the finish line.  Daniel drove Andrea to see the end too. Too bad she wasn't running it with me. :( I didn't know anybody else running except for Mr. Durbin!! I'm not surprised he was there, I think he must do any and every race you could think of. :) He did great and talked non-stop to us after wards. He's a pretty cool guy and a bit Cuckoo as he would say! :) 

Almost there......

I did it


Me and the kids- they can't look the sun is too bright...haha
I won a gift certificate for $20 to Lotsa Motsa pizza in Kanab in a drawing after the race, 
so we got lunch for everybody
My stats: 44 out of 107 women.  There was 167 total running. My official time was 59:22. 

We did have a great time staying at Erica's even though it was short.  I think I'll shoot for it again next year!!
