Superbowl 10k



I have recently discovered a deep love of running about 8 months ago. I never ever thought that would happen but it has and I could not be happier. I run about 4 times a week and did my first race ever in November. Bill and I ran the turkey trot 5k together and it was really fun.

About three weeks ago, I ran my first 10k. I decided to do it by myself just to show myself that I could. It was really fun. I had hurt my leg the week before and wasn't sure if i would be able to finish the race but about 10min into the run my leg stopped hurting and it was really fun.

Bill and the kids drove by and cheered me on on their way out of town for a birthday party. It was so cute seeing them and hearing their little voices"go mommy! go mommy!"

My mom also rode her bike over to see me and rode next to me part of the way and then ahead of me to take pictures. I felt very supported.

I finished the race in one hour and seven min and feeling really strong!
What an experience!
Now my goal is to do a few more 10ks and then a half marathon in November!!!
