5K Results and softball!

Yesterday was the Free to Breathe 5K! I wanted to find out my offical results before I posted anything! I DID PR but I didn't necessarily get the time I wanted! I finished in 28:09! That's just TEN SECONDS off the time I wanted! Oh well...like I said before...there's always the next race! I came in 7th in my age group out of 43 people! I also came in overall #115 out of 402 people! I don't think that's too shabby!! lol I've made a new goal...I want to get 27:59 in at least one 5K this season! We'll see! For this race, I started kind of close to the front but I was still stuck for a few seconds behind a slow moving group so maybe next time, I can get a little closer to the front...that may help with shaving off a few seconds!! lol We'll see! Kayla (My Sister in Law) also ran with me and she did awesome! She PR'd too at 31:06! Great job, Kayla!

I felt good running yesterday. There were times I had to cough and one time I had to walk cause I couldn't catch my breath. I did stop like 2 or 3 times for like 2 seconds to take a deep breath but I continued running after that. Only once did I walk a little (like maybe 10 seconds or so) to try and get a good deep breath but other than that, it was great! It was hard and I really pushed myself. At least at the end of this race, I was able to kick it up and sprint on in! (I couldn't do that last time cause I was sick!) I'll post pictures tomorrow!! :0)

So I think I started something with this running skirt thing. Last season, NO ONE in my area wore a running skirt at all! I always got odd looks! Sooo, this year, I've noticed TWO girls already in my running group that are hooked! One was wearing black/purple plaid on Saturday! I was so excited!!! lol

In my thinking about running skirts, I had to laugh at myself today! We had softball practice for our co-ed church team and I was thinking how funny it would be if I were to wear a running skirt there! Hahahah



I'd feel like THESE girls! How cool would it have been to play for a league like this?! I know those were tough times (during the war) but I would have loved it! My all time FAVORITE movie is A League of Their Own!!! I wish I were better at softball...I would have loved to play for college. I also went into Nursing too and that's kinda impossible so oh well. At least I can do it for fun at times like this! Games start in April as does my next 5K!

Well, the race is in the morning! I'm so nervous but I don't know why! I've been nervous all week! lol I'll get over my jitters tomorrow morning probably just as the race starts!

We have team shirts for our hospital team! They have green and purple in the shirts so I figured it would be hard to match them with skirts but guess what?! I have TWO skirts (one for Kayla and one for me) that will match! YAY!

I decided after seeing a picture of me on a friend's facebook that I need sun in my legs before running in a skirt tomorrow.....so this afternoon after work, I laid out for a little while. I had my alarm on my phone set so I would turn over every so often. Well, I fell alseep and laid there double time on my back so front side is just a little burnt! lol It's not bad but it's still red! Haha oh well!

Ok so here's to tomorrow and good weather and making good time!! :0) I'm excited to see my brother and sister in law!
