My first 5k!

On the 4th of July Jeremy, Erin, Becky and I ran the Anaheim Hills firecracker 5k. This was my first race. My goal was to try and stick with Erin, or run it under 30 minutes, and I did. I think my time was somewhere around 28 minutes. I don't usually run for fun. It is something I do to work out because I have to. But this race was actually fun! Maybe because it was the 4th of July and everyone was in a patriotic spirit. When we finished the race they had towels, water, orange slices, banannas, yogurt, etc. That was my favorite part.

Jeremy and I at the finish line. We made it!

Erin, Becky, me and Jeremy. Erin has a 3 month old baby (Eva) and Becky who has two little boys placed 2nd in our age group. They worked it and are my inspiration.

This little seven year old gave Jeremy a run for his money. When they were close to the finish line she could hear Jeremy catching up to her. She then decided to kick it into gear. She said, "I'm not gonna let you beat me!" She and Jeremy raced to the finish line and yes, she beat Jeremy by a step! The crowd was definitely on her side. (Please note she started before Jeremy so he still got a better time than she did.)
