Turkey Trot 2011

I have been keeping a secret from Todd. I haven't told him that I have been training to run my first 5k. He knew that I had been exercising, but thought I was just walking. Well, I wasn't walking, I was running!! Today was the day that I have been waiting for. I am pretty excited that at beginning of October I could run about 3 minutes and was out of breath, and now I can run a 5k!!! We (Sally & I) have come along way in the last few weeks.

Here are a few shots from our Turkey Trot 2011!!

My new tee-shirt.

This was the most exciting part!! The finish line!!!

These cutie pies were waiting patiently for me on the other side!!

I know this sounds crazy, but I started getting emotional when I rounded the corner and could see the finish line. There were cute little girls cheer leading that were telling us we were awesome! I could see my girls at the other end of the finish line. I started getting choked up and then decided I better get it together. I had worked hard and didn't want to start crying and change my breathing pattern! I got it together and finished!!

Here is a picture of me, Kendra, & Sally.

My time was somewhere around 34. something. I don't think that is too bad for my first 5k. I will beat that time next go around. Yes, there will be a next time!!!

So there you go honey. That was what I was going to do today. Your guesses were all wrong!! It wasn't bird watching, it wasn't going on a hot air balloon, it wasn't white water rafting. It was running in my first 5k race!
