10K @ 10K

I ran my first 10k on Saturday and it was actually really fun. I was surprised. I thought it would be one of those things I would do once and be done but I would totally do it again. However I have no desire to do a half marathon :) My time was 50:07. The last two miles were up hill with a full head wind, I seriously thought I was going to die.

It was kind of funny because I didnt even look at my time when I crossed the finish line. I just knew that is where I stopped and thats all I needed to know :) When they were announcing the winners I was just chatting with people and was totally surprised when they called my name. I was just laughing - a medal! Wa-hoo! I was the 2nd girl to cross the finish line but the first one in my age group I guess. I didnt even know they split it up like that. The girl that beat me was a 16 yr old on the Clearfield High cross country team - cheater..ha jk :) She was amazing. Anyhow, it was kind of fun.

Plus, I put the tag with my number on in the raffle and I won the raffle too. Came home with all sorts of loot :)

Jacey thought my medal was pretty sweet, she has been wearing it around as her "neckus". I loved running in my mountains. The trail was gorgeous and the day was a bit hot but otherwise perfect. It was really fun and hopefully I'll get a chance to do it again.
