HURRAY!!! At 10:08 I completed my first 10K (my first actual race/run of any kind since high school track to be exact) with a time of 1 hour and 8 minutes! I really wanted to finish under 1 hour and 15 minutes, but I didn't tell anyone, in case I didnt make it! (my time is an 11 and a half minute mile) I was so nervous I thought I might have a heart attack, but as you can see from this blog, I survived to tell the tale! Marie was a great running partner, she encouraged me to push on and do my best, while allowing any walking time necessary! (THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU MARIE!!!) While I am not looking forward to my next 10K (no there is not one planned, but yes, there probably will be) I can honestly say that this is one of the greatest accomplishments of my adult life! Is that lame? Well, I don't care, because its the truth!
(It wouldn't be the trot, without the turkey...he finishes every year in 47 minutes!)

( We didn't finish last after all! This many people were behind us!)
(I ran into Kate after the race!)
(After the race- We did it!!!!)

(Enjoying the fruits of our labors!)
