I feel like a runner!

This weekend I ran a 5k just because I wanted to do it! I didn?t know anyone else who was going to be running it, I just thought it would be fun! And it was! It was really neat running through Hollywood Studios before the park opened! They had music throughout the course (which I loved) and people all dressed up cheering all the runners along! And of course Mickey and Minnie were at the finish line giving high fives with some athletes. My knee still wasn?t feeling 100% but I still managed to bring my time from 39:43 to 38:39! And they were taking race photos! They should be ready in a week. I?m interested to see what these look like! Oh, and someone running the race was wearing a shirt from another race that I ran in! Even though I am still slow I feel official now! Haha  


I love my crazy child!

  • Congratulations on improving your time!  My sister ran her first 5k last year and I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told her--You are better than I am for being able to do, no matter what your time is!  I can't run for numerous reasons.  You did a great job and am so glad you feel acomplished (becuase, of course, you are)!
  • Yay!  Way to go!

  • Awesome Liz.  I'm glad you ran and PRed. 

    Keep it up.  

  • Great PR Liz.. Like Jenny said, you were a runner the first time you started running. You don't even have to race to be a runner. I'm so proud of you for going out and running even though you didn't know anyone! That is hard, I used to do it a lot before Carolyn & i started running together and I always felt like weirdo.

    Congrats! Hope to see you at another 5k soon! (We are doing the Iron girl on 4/10)

  • Wow!  That is so cool!  And good job on bringing your tie down. I wish I had the persistance to run, but I just...walk. 
  • CONGRATS! I hope to do 2 after LO is born in August
  • Awesome! You are a pro :)

    Are you still in Pinellas? I would love to do some running with you sometime! I actually sorta hate running but I was starting to get a little into it before I got PG. I have the Nike plus thing and that motivates me! 

  • Thanks everyone!!!! :)

    Blossom- Yep, I am still in Pinellas! Running together would be great! I find it hard to get motivated when I run by myself so anytime you want to run together just let me know and we can work it out!


    I love my crazy child!
