My First 10K!

My first 10K is under my belt.  My friend Jess and I ran the Sunburst race in South Bend today.  We finished in 1:02:07...not too bad.  I wanted to be under an hour, but that was pretty darn close!  There were three hills, which definitely didn't help  My other goal not to walk at all was accomplished.  It was such an awesome feeling!

The best part of the race was the ending.  The race was from the College Football Hall of Fame to Notre Dame Stadium. At the end we got to run through the (famous) tunnel while the Victory March was playing and the "crowd" was cheering.  SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!  Being a lifelong ND fan, that just made my whole day. 

I'll be running at least two more 5Ks this summer, a 5 mile race in September, and possibly a half in October.  Gotta keep running!

Here is a picture of Jess and me after the race...
