I decided to try the 5k. I had practiced a couple of times to see if I could still run that far and was able to....barely. The race started off fairly easy but about 3/4 of the way through the route went up this awful hill. I thought I might just die before I was on flat land again. I did finish the race, thinking that I was almost last, but Boyd told me I was the second or third woman my age who crossed the finish line.
Surprisingly, I even won a prize, chapstick and a package of trail mix!
After the race we enjoyed a tasty pancake breakfast made by the scouts....yum!
The whole group...
Waiting to go while receiving last minute instructions and directions.

Way to go. I do not enjoy running enough to even try out something like this. I'm glad you did it just for the satisfaction of it all.

Good for you to do it. We thought about it...but it was a little too early in the morning.
Yahoo! Good job!
