I had the pleasure of running in the Mike McDonald Fun Run at Oklahoma Christian University (my alma mater). I had never run a 5K before and frankly, I don't run that much period! If I do run lately, it's been on the treadmill for 2 to maybe 3 (if I want to kill myself) miles. But, I thought this would be a great opportunity to do one without too much pressure!I ran it with my dad and my older sister and it was fun! My number was 312, and I ran the 3.1 miles in 31.02 minutes! I thought it was really neat that everything was 3's, 2's and 1's!
I feel really bad about the end of the race though. I ran the whole time with my dad and sister until the last 100 yds or so. I got really excited and I said "lets sprint to the end!" She didn't want to and said for me to go ahead. So, I did...but we didn't finish the race together. It didn't even put me that far ahead only like 35 seconds or so. I feel super bad and selfish for doing that. So, my dad wanted us to go back and take a picture of us all crossing the finish line together. We look like kind of dumb, but hey...you get the idea!
My roommate from college, Gail Kemp came up from Dallas to run in the race too. She has been training and kicked my behind in the race...she finished in like 26 minutes or something! Great job Gail!

You both should do the Komen Race on the fall! It is fun too! Congrats on your first 5K.
Congrats! That was a great time! You'll have to do more now. It is addicting for some reason!!
