5K

Today I ran a 5K, and I finished 9th overall and 1st in my age group. I was very excited to do so well on my race. I have only been training—if one can call running here and there training—for a week and a half. I knew I wasn’t completely prepared, nor was I fooled by the idea of thinking I was actually in shape, but I still went all out on my race. And my miniscule training and effort paid off, because I placed really well.



I was extremely excited to finish 9th overall, but when I found out I finished 1st in my age group, I was ecstatic. And I was even more thrilled when I found out that the first place winners in every age group got a brand-new pair of running shoes. I am still in shock that I won a new pair of shoes. It was a great surprise.



Elle also ran in the kid’s race today, and did exceptionally well. She ran the entire mile, and was hardly even tired. She did great. It was fun doing a race together; and it was a great day for running.



Yea for running!
