Summer of the 5K

One of my New Year's Resolutions this year was to run a 5k. Well, I've run 3 so far and have at least one more to do before the summer is over! I wasn't sure if I would actually do it, since that has been a resolution for a couple of years now! But this year I did it! And the best thing is that each time my finish time got just a little quicker. Now, I'm not a fast runner by any means. In fact, some of you could probably speed walk at my running pace! But at least I did it!



This first picture is from the Race Against Racism. My cousin Jeremy and his son ran, as well as about 3,000 other people. I just happened to be right behind them when his wife, Jodie, took the picture. This picture isn't the greatest, but I'm in it!



The second race was the Turkey Hill run and I ran with my friend, Marlene and a bunch of women from my Bible Study/weight loss group. (So far I'm down 33 pounds!!)



The third race was with some of my cousins on the morning of July 4th! It was by far the flattest course of the three, which might have helped with my faster time! Again, the picture is not so great...that is what I get from stealing them off other people's facebook!
