Well, the first 5k of 2011 is in the books. It was rough! It was icy, slick, and cold! And well, I hadn't ran leading up to this race. But, I finished and my time wasn't my worst ever - so that's a plus. As you can see in the picture, I was dressed in layers. I had my jacket wrapped around my waist starting at mile 2. My friend took this picture at the finish line with his iPhone. I swear I was running and I swear there were people around me. My friend finished like 5 seconds before me and another girl was right on my tail - you can kind of see her shadow. I came in 10th in my age group. One of the perks of a smaller race.
So I've climbed back on the fitness train. I ran a short 1.25 miles before cooking dinner yesterday and then biked 10 miles before bed. Not too bad! I'm slowly going to build my running base back up. And slowly I will kick these extra pounds to the curb!

Congrats on your 5K!! I just signed up for one next weekend :) I haven't raced in months, and I have the itch!
good for you hun!! congrats on your first 5k!
You DO look like you are running! I think that running is the BEST way to kick pounds. I don't know why, but that is how it usually works for me. Go you for actually running in the ice.
woo hoo! i still think it's crazy that you have snow on the ground and it's 70 degrees here in SC... congrats on your first race of the year!
Congrats on your first 2011 race! Way to start the year off right!
