5/10/09 Mother's Day Kirkland 5k


5/10/09
Jon and I ran the Kirkland Mother's day 5k this morning. Holy HILL Batman!! OMG that hill sucked. Before the hill, we were doing a sub 8 min. mile, but then the hill hit, not to mention the freakin' cottonwood crap in the air!!! I tried to make up some time on the downhill, but my knees don't like downhill much lol. We finished with a 29:50. Not record shattering or anything, but if you consider that my last 5k, (which was incidentally my first race ever) I finished with a 29:55, but it was totally flat, and perfect conditions for my stupid-ass asthma. I think the fact that I even improved my time a little on a way harder course, goes to show how far I have come. I'm proud of me!!We then rushed to pick up the boys. I really felt like being outside for Mother's Day, and because it was MY day, Jon and I ran, while the boys rode their bikes. We went 8.77 miles! I was so proud of those kids! I am completely beat at the moment lol. Time to sleep. I doubt I'll run tomorrow. Oh, I forgot to mention.. I ran 28.5 miles this week!
