Black Cat Chase 5K

Absolutely loved every minute of the Black Cat Chase! It was my 2nd 5K, and I'm sad I waited a whole year to do it again. There are several opportunities for 5K's in our area.

My time was 2 mins better then last year, which I know isn't saying much, LOL...........I wasn't participating to break any records, just to have fun, get some exercise, and prove to myself that I won't die in the process. So speaking of time.............................I completed the 5K in 44 mins and 50 something seconds, so we might as well say 45 mins. now that's a little less then a 15 min mile. I'll take it.

That being said, I hope to be around 39 mins. next year, but we shall see. Lot's of training in my future!

A big thanks to Shannon, Alison, and Jeremy for doing it with me. It was Shannon's first 5K, and she did great!

It rained nearly the entire time, not a pour down rain, but light drizzle, and I truly didn't care! I was just so excited to be there! Oh and lets mention the temperature, it was in the 50's, so very chilly!

Next year I will be either in the runners line up or the very front of the walkers, we were at the end this year, and you better believe that affects your time atleast by 2 mins. which was a bum, I know it's just a number but I'm a competitor and I like for my time to be accurate.

Here is a post race picture, we camped that weekend, so we were in the camper, due to the rain and cold temperatures. My boys were going to come and cheer me on with the hubs, but the weather kept them away in the camper, nice, warm and cozy! Those sweet boys were waiting on their momma when I got back.

I have more pictures to post, so be looking for Black Cat Chase Part 2, ha!

New Post coming: hardwood floors, spelling test, surgery, and much more.
