Week 10 - Race for the Cure!
Sunday, April 25, 2010 at 7:43PM Well folks, I did it! I ran the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Race in Spokane on April 18, 2010. I have to tell you that it was fantastic! The weather was perfect and the race inspiring. I found myself getting caught up in the emotions of the day and was quite overcome after I finished the race. I know so many friends who have been affected by breast cancer, and I dedicate this race to them. Here are some photos from my race:
Me and my number. I was very proud!
Lining up for the start with 9,000 other runners!
Releasing of the survivor balloons.
Action shot on the course!
Coming around, almost done!
All done! What a great day!
What an awesome feeling. I didn't have to stop at all, and I completed the 5k in about 33 minutes, which was faster than my predicted 36 minutes. My body didn't suffer any ramifications, which is a testament to the Couch to 5k program I have been doing for the last 10 weeks. I had a blast and I can't wait to do more races! Which reminds me, Bloomsday is just around the corner!
