Blood Run 5K

We woke up at 5am to get ready for this race.  It started at 7am so we had to leave pretty early to make it there to check in and all.  When we left it was raining out and a chilly 48 degrees.  It was still raining when we got there, but we were so lucky because 10 minutes before the race the rain stopped.  That made my day.  Not a fan of running in the rain when it is cold out.

The race was a REALLY good one.  The course was pretty flat which I liked!  They also labeled the course really well.  There would be a sign for every .5 miles.  I had to stop to walk twice, but still was able to get a PR!  35:31 My wonderful husband got some shots of me running.  Our camera isn't the greatest, but I think they came out ok.

Right after I crossed the finish line.  I actually finished at 35:31.  I'm the one in pink!

When I reached the finish line I swore I was going to puke!  I really pushed myself hard to get that PR!  Luckily I didn't get sick.  Yay!  After the race, they did a ton of giveaways.  Nate (my husband) won two gift certificates to jump on it for one hour.  Our son will LOVE that!  Oh and we also got a pretty awesome finisher medal.  Super cool in my book!

Me, with my medal for finishing the race.  I actually came in 8th place in women ages 19 -29.  I'm pretty proud of that!

After our race, we rewarded ourselves with this:

McDonalds Egg Mcmuffin!  YUM!  Don't mind my post-run crazy hair!
