I ran today...

Okay, that doesn't sound very spectacular.

Today was the Mother's Day 5K race at Presque Isle. I was determined to at least complete a race sometime in my life. I tried last Thanksgiving and, unfortunately, did not make it to the finish line.

Today, I did everything different. I ate pasta Saturday night, went to bed early. got up with enough time to eat light carb breakfast of a banana and a half a quart of gatorade and a garden of life granola bar with lots of whole food in it!

I went not knowing anyone this time. Sara and Heather were hurt so they passed. So it was me and 300 other people I didn't know!!

Well it was time to run! I felt great! I wanted to beat my time of 33 minutes. I am just a beginner don't laugh!!

I not only felt a burst of energy on the last mile stretch, I beat my time AND under 30 minutes!! 29 minutes and 48 seconds!

I am thankful for the ability to run and the opportunity to do it. The best time in my age group was 24 min 32 sec. That's my next goal!! The relay for life race is coming up the end of this month - I will shoot for the stars in that race!!
