Freezing and a little run

Over the weekend I participated in a 5K to raise childhood obesity awareness. It was FREEZING, as you can tell from the picture below. We were just waiting for the race to start.

I ran with 4 of my friends from church. Everett was bundled up in the stroller. What a sport for cheering me on even though it was REALLY cold.
My time was 27:10, which was great for me. My goal was to run the entire time and to do it under 30 minutes. I did both.

After the race it was so cold we went inside got a little bite to eat and went home. We didn't stay for awards or any of the other festivities. Later in the afternoon, my friend who ran with me called and told me I won first place in my age division! My friends placed first and second in their age divisions too. The gal on the far left is 3+ months pregnant and she ran it in about 30 minutes and got 2nd in her age division. You go girl!

It felt good to be in a competitive race again, it had been 5 years since I last raced.

This 5K has motivated me to want to do a triathlon this summer. Not a big one, just a mini one. I guess we'll see.
