Spud Run - 5k

Yesterday morning my husband, myself and my 2 sister-in-laws ran in the spud run 5k. It was awesome!! So here is how the morning went - Mikel and I were way tired from the night before (emotion bowl) and we woke up a little late.  We were suppose to be in Shelley by 7am and we were barely leaving the house by 7am.  We took the back roads to Shelley and my husband says to me "whoa they changed the speed limit to 35 here, I better slow down" Just then we see a county cop and get pulled over.  (You see we have been driving back and forth on that road for over 13 years now and had not realized the speed limit had changed) So we ended up with an 85$ ticket and we pulled up to the race about 2-1/2 minutes before they fired the starting gun. So basically we hit the road running. 
Me and Mikel's first 5k was off to a quick start - we hadn't even realized what we were doing until we rounded the first corner.  Talk about a whirlwind experience!
 Even my husband said he had fun!! My sister-in-law Cherice killed it in 32 minutes!! Way to go Cherice! Tiffany (my sister-in-law) did Awesome in 36 minutes!! You rock Tiffany!! My husband and I finished in 46 minutes!! Thank you Mikel for doing the 5k with me!! It was a little rough getting started (we walked a lot of mile 1)  but by the time we hit mile 3 we were pumped and we did a lot more jogging!! I probably could have gone a few more miles and would have felt great!!  I had so much fun that I think I am going to shoot for at least 3 more 5k's before the end of the year!!
