Hey, hey! Ya, check it out, this past Saturday, October 10, 2009, my friend Amanda (in the green jacket) found out about this 5K from a friend so we decided to do it. I received bib number 1! Now how often does that happen to someone in their lifetime! Not very often, so to say the least, I was pretty stoked, as you can see from the picture below! Yet, the fun part was that it benefited the Christ Lutheran Church and School. Sweet! The run started outside of the church/school, down some neighborhood, into Murray Park, around Murray Park, and back down the neighborhood to finish in front of the church/school. The run was actually a nice one, it was a beautiful day besides being freezing cold at the beginning. It had hills, downhills, flat wooded areas, trees, and a cute bridge to run over in the park. Amanda's friend Annie, who she met in the MTC, joined us and I came to find out she's in my ward. Yeah, a new friend! She's awesome and we all had a great time!
Bib #1 baby! Oh yeah! And we also had police escorts down and across the streets. I felt so special, never had a police escort before! Sidenote, I got bib #1 because of my name was the highest alphabatized name, but I try not to think of it in that way, I am #1!
The crew after the run! I was pretty warm through the race, but I didn't want to take time to shed the layers! I knew I could place, since there wasn't that many people in our age group. There was probably 10 or so, and we knew we could take them!
Top Female Winner overall goes to..... Amanda! Way to go girl!
Here's a shout out to all their sponsors. Really we just thought the shirt was funny! We figure it will be a great pajama shirt. The front was actually cute, but we just love that we ran for the Community in Christ & Christ in the Community!
Post-medal ceremony! Annie won first place in our age division, Amanda took first place female overall, and I took second place in our age division. Go us!
Here's the statistics! I came in 25 out of 100+ at a time of 31.32.694! At the very end, I had been running with this lady who I came to find out was in the 40-44 age group. She kept passing me, then I'd pass her, and I was determined to beat her in the end. Finally, I saw the finish line, flags and all, and I just got this surge of energy like I've never known before. Usually at the finish of races, my sprint is a walk, but I was actually sprinting. As I flew by her, literally, she grunted! Oh, it was beautiful to behold and as I passed the finish line ahead of her, I breathed victory! I may not have won the race, but I beat her! Haahaaha! And I don't feel bad, she was decked out in all the latest running gear, fanny pack, water bottles, and everything. She appeared hard core, and I was just thrilled to be able to beat her. :)
Here I am, second place finisher in the 20-24 female age division!
The front of the medallion!
And the back, got to love the engraving! CLS 5K 2nd place!
