Okay, so I just have to say that I completed my very first race last Saturday. It was a 5K and it was actually really fun when I wasn't in pain. I love how when you finish, there are people there handing you hot dogs. Like, I just ran off some calories and now I need to undo whatever good I just did 5 seconds after finishing the race. That and when you are already going to puke from running,what you really need someone shoving a hot dog in your face.
I have to say the very worst part was getting up at freakin' 5:00 AM so that I can hurry downtown to torture myself. In spite of all of this though, I can't wait for the next one!!
I finished in 30 minutes and some odd seconds and I'm pretty sure I can beat that next time because I had a huge side ache for most of the second and third mile.
My favorite part of the actual race was looking to my right and seeing some 6 year old kid beating me and then looking to my left and seeing some 90 year old man beating me and then looking ahead of me and seeing some freak dressed up like Spiderman beating me. Good times!!!!

I hear ya... the little kids and old people beating me was my favorite part of my 5K too... Congrats! What an accomplishment! oh, and live it up while you can... you'll be old too in about 3 months!
So does this mean you passed on the hot dog?! Good job, I am impressed! Next time you should dress as Wonder Woman or some other super hero and then I am sure that would help you beat some kids or a grandpa. :o)
That is amazing! I think the last time I ran was to get away from one of my kids trying to tag me. I don't really run for fun. So I think that you are amazing.
Didn't you just love the idea of hot dogs at 8 in the morning? Ugh. And, I really enjoyed the woman who passed me (who wasn't even sweating by the way) pushing a TRIPLE jogger. That really made me feel like a great big fatty.
I am totally impressed with your time. You totally rocked it.
I have heard lots of comments about those hotdogs now. I think everyone was diggin' them! :) Good Job Jenny!

I ran that same race and took pics with that Spiderman!! Who also beat me.
Found your blog from the Joanne's, I've been trying to get an update on Mark as Mike isn't all that great with bringing home info from Ulrich.
