Mother's Day Run 2012

This year, D and I completed the 2012 Sport Chek Mother's Day race!  I ran a personal best for a 5K race (I think), which was 41:01.3 minutes.  This was pretty good for me, since I have not trained for a race at all!  I was hoping to finish in under an hour, so I wouldn't embarrass myself too badly! ;)

This was the FIRST race where I felt like I got bitten by the racing bug and want to do another 5K and try to beat my time!!! :)  I did 5 and 1's instead of my normal 10 and 1's.  With the 5 minutes, I was able to pace myself better and keep my form in check during my minute walk breaks.

At the end of the race, I found some extra go-juice and pushed myself to the finish!  I felt amazing afterwards!!!  It was a fantastic race!

Once life gets settled, I'll be looking to get back into it and do another 5K!  Gotta find one with a nice, flat course :)
