5K with my girls!!

It was HOT,but it was FUN.

O.k. soooo I know I said I would NEVER run another 5K again... so much for that! ha ha ha

My dear friend Angela wanted to run a race for the first time! So my awesome sister Bethany, Rockin Friend Lauren and myself all jumped in the car with Angela and we headed to Jax for a 5K!

Angela RAN her little heart out the WHOLE race! There were 2 huge bridges... I had to end up walking one of the bridges. Actually alot of people where walking. Really it was hot and my hands and face where swelling... but dang it.. I beat my time by 4 mins!!!! 4 mins.. that is huge at least for me. Not to mention the people cheering us on at the red lights. Oh and the cop that was very happy to give me a ride back to the finish line on his motorcycle... ha ha ha (no I didn't take it, but let me tell you it was a tempting offer...) :) It was a fun race...entertaining for sure.

And then I got to the finish line.. excited and EXHAUSTED! My body wanted to do the passout thing again, luckily Lauren was there telling me DRINK DRINK DRINK... and then she poured water down my back... COLD water ... hello that took the dizziness away... :) Once we all cooled off we hit Dairy Queen... nice huh!

Will I ever do another run... hummm we will just have to see. But for this race... it was awesome hanging with these ladies and rewarding to cross the finish line!
