Eagle Mountain 5K


So, I ran my first 5K on Saturday. It felt good to finally compete in something like this. I wanted to do a little better but I had shoulder and neck problems along with knee problems and so I knew going into it I wasn't going to do as well as I would probably like. I also had not been very diligent in my training and had only gone running probably once or twice in the month prior to racing so it wasn't really in the cards to do my best. I gave it a try, though and I'm so glad I did it. Now I'm more motivated to stick with it and start eating more healthy. I know that's my biggest downfall right now is not picking the correct nutrition for my body. I was so happy to have my sister, Kandi and my sister-in-law, Jennifer with me to share this experience. I can't wait to run another one of these things with these awesome two girls! I love them! I contemplated posting this photo of us because I look simply gross after running and getting up at 5:45 in the morning, but I can handle it. Sorry, I'm no Angelina Jolie but that's what you get. Thanks to my awesome brother, Quin and brother-in-law, Clint for watching the kids while we all ran. You guys rock! Next time you'll have to babysit while us girls go out and use our feet in a different way.....maybe a pedicure or something...ha ha.
