my first 5k!

K8e and i as we got to papago park to run our 5k!!! It was early but once we got our free shirts (i was most excited out that!) I started to get really excited! i loved all the different people there running. Young (1 year old running... this little girl ran with us at the end.. it reminded me of lili) and old like old old, skinny, fit, fat, average.. all were welcome to run! We got to help save the cheetahs and run! it was a very fantastic experience and i am sure i will be doing it again soon!!

there were a ton of people running! i loved the atmosphere of runners all around doing what we love to do! There was such a buzz in the air! i can't wait to do more! i'm going to be addicted to these things!Me and katie in the crowd of people waiting to run
This guy had the coolest calves.. they split in the middle!! the video you can see it better
our 1st mile maker approaching!
our mile marker!! i was there... see the tiny arrow.. its pointing to me!!
the turn around point! half way done!
this was at the turn around.. we couldn't take a picture at the marker since it was kind of crowed
2nd mile mark approaching
This was our 2nd mile maker! see i was running =]
we ran our 5 k!
Right at the finish line! we sprinted to the end and there was a ton of people and the announcer was all " oh look at the fast sprint to the end. this is a photo finish people" It was an amazing feeling to run a 5k and have people waiting at the end! i will be doing it again!
We needed some water after our run! It was nice weather though
afterwards we got free massages!!!
We tried putting oranges in our mouth but k8e couldn't get hers to stay in
she tired but it was still popping out
Then k8e got me an orange and i couldn't keep it in my mouth! haha
We both were able to get the oranges in out mouth!
We finally got the oranges in our mouth... at our 5k!


Here were the results...
