Race Against Child Abuse 10k

On Saturday, May 1, 2010, Luke, my mom, and I ran a 10k in Wellsville, Utah. That was a very tough 6.2 miles. There were a lot of hills so I got tired really fast. I have been training for a half marathon in July and thought I would try a 5k, and a 10k along the way. The 5k was mostly flat so I didn't have to walk at all, but I had to walk up all of the hills in the 10k. What a bummer! Oh well, I finished in 1:24:38 which was right around where I thought I would. The time is probably longer because I accidently cheated :( I was so focused on running that I missed one of the turns and just went straight. Well, there was a turn off that I was supposed to take which added about 2 blocks to what I ran, but oh well, I am counting the time I got. I am really slow so any help is appreciated even if I know the timing is a little off. I came in 2nd to last place, just in front of my mom who walked the whole thing (she did an awesome job; coming in at 1:46:something). That's ok I knew I wasn't going to be breaking any records. Luke, on the other hand, finished third place overall and 2nd in his age group. He did really well, his time was 45:22. I am so proud of him.

I am starting to really enjoy running and hopefully as time goes by I get a little faster! (Pictures coming shortly)
