pictures from my 5k

I did it... My first 5K

I did it :) My first 5K!!
Well it's done I did my first official 5K. My time sucked but honestly I just wanted to finish and not finish last. LOL. My asthma was acting up because of alergies all week so I took more walk breaks then I wanted to but that will get better with time.
Here is my race report (reposted from www.ourlittleuniverse.com & www.marriedtoatrucker.com )
Overall it went pretty well. I woke up at 6 and got ready to go. I needed to meet my ex-coworkers at 7:30 and I wanted to get my number before that. Larry dropped me off and left to find a parking space while I ran and got my number. Found Larry and my co-workers and we just chit chatted until race time. I ended up running the competive with just my friend. We lined up around 8:40 and started at 8:47. I left my watch at home and I'm so mad because it was gun timed not chip timed and it took forever to get the the start line. I ended up losing my friend just 3 blocks in ( I counted blocks on Atlantic ave instead of miles ) I made it from 31st street to 18 street and then my asthma started. I knew it would because it has been bothering me all week. I walked down to the turn around at 8th street and started up the boardwalk. I ran on and off until the last 3/4 of a mile when I saw the little cheerleaders. They had to be about 7, all dressed up and had their pom poms. Then I just booked it to the finish. Right before the finishers chute I hear Annalisa yelling and waving. I crossed at 41 and change.... My goal was to finish and try to get under 45. With my asthma I thought I would be worse so I'm pretty pleased with myself. Larry forgot the camera in the car so I have just one pic from after the race I'll post in a minute in my album.
