My First 10K

My friends Stephanie and Roberta and I did the Grand Prix Classic 10k in Colorado Springs. This was before the race. My mom is in town so she came with to cheer me on and take pictures. Thanks Mom!
Sprinting to the finish line.
After the race. I set a goal for myself to finish in 1 hour and 10 minutes since that would be double my 5k time but I did better than I thought I would do and finished in 1 hour and 5 minutes. Once again Roberta left Stephanie and I in the dust and finished in 50 minutes. Go Roberta! It was really intimidating at first because there aren't many of my type of runners at a 10k. They are all the super intense stringbeans like these people

You can't see me in this picture because I'm way at the back with all the slowpokes. It was actually easier than I thought it would be and really fun. I'm glad I did it, and it just goes to show that if I can do it, anybody can do it.
