FLABULOUS

Our First 5k

As you know, if you read Flabulous, that this weekend was our first 5k. KJ and I did it!

After a night of our nerves running a bit wild, we got off to a bit rocky start, but no matter, we did it! We were running with other 5k’ers, marathon racers and half marathon racers. We might not have been as fast as them (hey they are pro’s!) but we did an incredible job.

It was so exciting to see so many people and have perfect strangers cheering us on. It was a perfect day with sun, but shade and a little wind. We got 5k t-shirts and free red bulls and water.

The best part was the end. We ran across the finish line and our SO’s were up on a bridge yelling our names, there just for us. It was a really cool experience that we’ve both decided we HAVE to do again. But why wait until next year? We’re going to find several 5k’s over the next few months, (and on and on), and just spend it perfecting our time.

If you’ve never done a 5k race, you really have to. It’s just a totally different experience. For get about weight, what can you DO?
