Never Again!

So this past Saturday I did something for the first time and most likely the last time! The race I thought was a 5k, which turned into an actual 3.5 mile trail run was Saturday. Now I am not saying I will never do another 5k...who knows, but I will NEVER do another trail run! It was awful!

I knew it would be a trail, but I wasn't expecting so many winding turns, mud, water, stumps, etc. It was pretty rough and the other girls that ran it agree with me! Cory finished in 37 minutes and came back to find me! He is so sweet. He thought I might be dead, hurt, crying, begging for him to take me off the course...but no, there I was still jogging along slowly but surely!

This was physically the hardest thing I have ever done besides giving birth...seriously! But I am glad to say I did it! I would advise not running a race like that pregnant though! I took Tylenol every 4 hours for the next two days just so I could get out of bed and walk!

So I finished in 55 minutes, 47 seconds...under an hour! Wahoo!

Thank you to Lacy for bringing your camera to document the event! Note all of these pictures were before the race, before we were all complaining, etc. The other girls got top 3 in our age division, and Cory and Chad each got gold in their divisions...I didn't medal, but I didn't come in last! I was 17th out of 24 or so...good enough for now! Thanks to Mandy for suggesting this and to her, Sally, Donna, and Cory for all the encouragement to keep training!
