I had a new years goal to run in 2 different 10K races. This is the 1st one, the Deseret News Marathon/10k run in Salt Lake. My sweet younger sister ran it with me. All of the thanks for even finishing goes to her. There were many times I just wanted to stop and rest, but she pushed me along. In fact running with her made my time 5 minutes shorter then in practice. My only goals were to not be the last one across the finish line and to not stop at any of the first aide stations in need of oxygen. I accomplished them both :)
This would be me almost at the end of the race. Just for those who don't know a 10k is 6.2 miles, I must admit you have to be a little insane to do this to yourself. I am right next to the big guy in the blue.
This is the end of the race where they give you water and bagels to eat. Look at all of those sweaty people. I was proud to be one of them!!! Still not sure it will be a part of next years resolutions. We'll have to see how the 2nd race goes, it will be the end of August up in Pocatello. My older sister is going to run in that one with me.
