I just popped

My 5K cherry!
That's right! (4/12/14) was my race day. It all started...
When I woke up in the morning with a neck cramp that hurt so bad to turn my neck to the right, and then we ended up running late than planned! Yup I was a complete wreck! My daughter's hair needed to be combed, my son needed to get dressed.. everything wasn't what I had planned but as soon as we got on the road (Stopped at the gas station first) I realized I didn't have my number! Luckily for us we live down the street from the gas station, so it didn't take long to run in and out. The whole time I kept thinking its 20 minutes away I need to hurry but drive safe! It was actually 12 minutes! Not too far from us at all.
Once we got there we parked, and while my husband got the stroller out and the kids in, I ended up rushing down to the starting line so I didn't "Miss" my race.
I made it with five minutes to spare and I already felt lile running! Lol so many people were there it was an awesome vibe!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1..
*Blowhorn goes off*
And we are off!
The race was amazing! I loved the scenery which the race was Located at Sugar House Park Salt lake city, Ut
Huge pond, play areas, all in all a beautiful park to go to and enjoy the scenery.
I made the whole race exactly 39:00 Minutes which was awesome because that was one of my goals was to make it between 30-40 Minutes :)
After I had finished we walked around, checked out the booths and got some free stuff,  it was deffiently a good day! I hope to be able to do this same race again next year. I suppose we shall see right? 
I can't believe that its been almost two months since I started running and I feel amazing and even tho each day is different from the next, I'm always pushing through and keeping myself active and not just getting lazy with it like I have done in the past, best of this all my family has supported me through all of this and without them I would be a lost soul on this earth, and that is the truth.
My "New Years Bucket List" Rages on!
With the many things I have on my list for this year I deffiently will be doing some more 5K's this year most likely more then I think actually lol
