I ran a 5K!

If I sound super proud of that fact, it's because I AM!! I am in no way, shape or form a runner. And, in fact, I didn't even run the full 5K! The parts that were uphill I had to walk because it hurt my shins too much. (Body Attack training has done a number on my shins... and PS, I'm filming my certification video a week from Saturday!) But I think I did pretty well... it took me about 40 minutes. Maybe that's really bad. I don't know. But I'm still proud. :)

Anyway, my friends Jill and Kristen are involved in an organization called SHe (Singular Humanitarian Experience). They held a 5K/10K fundraiser and I decided to support it. However, I got lost getting to the location and I was so late that the 5K winner was finishing up as I pulled into the parking lot. I wasn't going to do it at all at that point, but then I realized that I was counting on the 5K as my cardio for the day and, gosh darn it, I pulled my hiney out of bed that early on a Saturday morning, so I was going to do it.

And I did. Last one to start. And definitely the last one to finish. Even all the 10Kers finished before me. Whatever. I got this cool green shirt for my efforts.

It matches my BFF Jill.
Shawn and Brooke: check the iPod arm band.... Sa-weet!



PS... Is anyone dying for details on this?

I bet you are now! ;)
Don't worry... I'll get to it soon. Promise.
