I did it...

June 12, 2010....Bellin Run

That's right, my first 10K and let me tell ya...I LOVED it! Jeana had an amazing post on the Bellin, and she nailed it on the head...she said she may be addicted now and oh my goodness I never thought I would be, but I am! Now let's get this straight, I'm not to the point where I LOVE running, but I LOVE the energy and the feeling I get afterwards, especially crossing the finish line...seriously it's a high like no other. Thanks Jilly Bean for getting me addicted!
Jilly, Jeana, Lisa, and I went to Green Bay Friday night and ate at the spagetti dinner and walked around the park, anticipation starting building in my stomach... We then went to the hotel and sat in the hot tub...need I say more...perfect night right?? Just us girls chilling and laughing quite a bit...I really wish Jas could've been there, but she was in Utah. To no surprise, I could'nt sleep, I love hotels, but can never sleep and I think I was way too anxious! Morning came and we started the morning drill, again anticipation building....



We were wave 5 and had to wait about a half hour to begin, walking up to the start line was incredible, I felt like a kid right before opening christmas presents...I just wanted to go!! And we were off! Jill of course shot ahead of us (She's a pro!) Jeana and I ran the race together and for that I was so happy! I did walk a little, but am pretty proud of myself, I finished! Heck that was a goal haha My official time was 1:18...next year I want better! Mile 4-6 were my hardest, I wanted to die and the sidewalk was looking better and better with each step, but I pushed myself no help to the charlie-horse in my big toe or the cramp in my left foot....and like I said before crossing that finish line was GREAT! Granted the last 1.2 miles, there are people lining the side of the road...of course I couldn't stop running infront of them, that pushed me also hahaha And I do believe I jumped up in the air after finishing, yes that crazy girl at the end was me and I'm proud of that :)
I regreted it for a day or two afterwards, but I loved every minute of it! Thanks Sisters and Lisa for such a fun time, many jokes and laughs were had and I look forward to next year...also the next race hehe that's right...we are signed up for the Packer Run July 31st. Love you Sisters!! You're my Rock!



Ok I just had to share these pics....I seriously have the MOST
BEAUTIFUL,
FUNNIEST, SMARTEST, BESTEST sisters in the world!!!!
