There is no way I could have possibly done this without Sean there. Going up the first hill, we started talking about Jason and Tahoe - and I don't think I even noticed the hill until we were at the top. I laughed and asked if we could talk about Tahoe on every hill!
Just as Sean said it was nice that it wasn't raining - it of course began raining. It just added to the laughs though.
It was so nice having him there running with me. I wish I could pack him up and take him with me to every run.
I don't think when Shane and Sean kept telling me I'd be able to run the entire 5K by today I actually believed them. Now that it happened - I'm amazed. I never dreamed of being able to do this. Especially after the 15 months off and all of the medical issues. It wasn't the fastest 5K I've ever done - but the fact that I ran the entire thing more than makes up for the time. I'm really hoping it's not the last time I'm able to do that either!! I've already asked if I could try to PR the 5K at the end of April in my neighborhood. :)
I hate pictures of myself - especially on race day - but I promised I would post at least one. So... no judging... here you go....
AND - as if my excitement over running an entire 5K wasn't enough, check out Daniel's results!!
All in all, I'd say it was a very successful first race back. Looking forward to seeing just how far I can go between now and Tahoe in June!
