It's been a while since I have set a goal (a big one) and accomplished it completely. Usually I get off track due to schedule conflicts with the Mr (my hip-hop class) or the kids needs over my own (too long a list). But on Saturday, nothing could deter me from running my first 10k. I ran the entire length in 1:02. It was FUN (at least this first 3 miles were) to see crowds of people cheer on friends, family and strangers, run to live rock bands, and share the experience with 5 friends I trained with.
I didn't take very many pictures because once the race was over and I found my family, I was thrilled to have my family back together again. Patrick snapped a few shots and we headed home to spend a weekend together.

WOOO HOOO! Liz you ROCK! I wish I could have been there to cheer you on! I am so proud of you- man I wish I took my running more seriously before baby bump.
high five.

Yay you!!! You give me inspiration to do this at some point.
How were your cupcakes?
Kudos to Liz! I'm so glad to accomplished this goal. You'll be the runner from now on. Next goal: 26K perhaps the hood to coast race next year.
Congrats! That's awesome. :)
I like how you celebrated much better - my salad doesn't quite compare ;)
GREAT JOB!!!! Those cupcakes look delic - what a way to celebrate. I wish I was there - too bad I missed it.
That's awesome Lizzy, I did one the other day too...of course mine was done in the comfort of an air conditioned car....as it was being driven by someone else ;)
