K + K + K + K + K = 5K

So I did it!!! I am on my way to a half marathon. I will admit it is good that I still have 8 months to be ready, but I know I will be.
Bright and early Saturday morning me and two of my friends, Becky and Natalie, headed out on our first of many races. So this mornings race we decided to walk it which I was thankful for, since I fell down a flight of stairs last summer my ankle acts up on occasion and thanks to the invention of high heels it acted up this week. Battle wounds right?!
We started the race with a crowd of walkers and runners to support Intermountain Healthcare's Cardiovascular/Pulmonary departments. After the first lap the crowd began to stretch out over the course, but thankfully when we finished we were not the last.
Our goal and hopes were to finish in 1 1/2 hours, but because of our "go to" attitude and perseverance we finished in 1 hour 4 minutes ...YEA!!!!!
