I did my first 10K on Sat at Unionville High School, it was a fundraiser for their soccer team and they did an outstanding job. They had spotters at every road to tell us where we needed to go and then there were kids riding bicycles checking on everyone.
I was so thrilled with my official time being 70 minutes 36 seconds. I had told Michael the week before that I really wanted to finish in that time but would still be ok if it was a little over, never really believing that I could finish in 70 minutes, because that's an average of 11 minutes per mile. I knew I could keep that pace for about 3 miles because I do that twice a week at the park but wasn't sure I could for the entire 6.2 miles.
I had asked Dawn to come with me so I was excited when she said she would. Her daugher Hanna decided she would do the 5K which I think is awesome since she's only 9. She was so excited when she got 2nd place in her age division and got the medal to prove it :)
When we got there we saw Melissa who had been training with me at the park and it was funny that Levi knew her too. I was so proud that Michael & Levi went with me to cheer me on :) Michael originally wanted to meet up with me about half way but his friend Jeff was there so he ended up talking to him the entire time which was fine because he was waiting for me at the finish line.
