Side note: Eric decided the night before that he wanted to sign up for the race (mainly to get the shirt ha) and he hasn't been running in months. I love that crazy man :)
It was so great having awesome friends to run with and even better to have an amazing group to hangout with after the race! We are so so blessed in the friend department :)
That's me crossing the finish line :)
If it looks like I'm dying here... it's because I felt like I was going to ;)
They had rootbeer (Utah+Oktoberfest= no beer. Just rootbeer!) which did not hit the spot for me at all! But we did win matchy socks! :)
It was a perfect day to finish my first race! Next on the racing agenda?? A 5k :)

I am so excited for you!! My cousin just ran her first race in Charlotte (not sure what type) & loved it! I just hate running, but need to get over it!
yay!! So happy to read this :) Good job!!!!! and you look GREAT after you run.. you don't even look like you've been running! My face gets seriously red and blotchy since I don't get enough oxygen from my asthma and I really do look like I'm dying.. lol. anyways, congrats!!!!
that is a GREAT time- congrats! You totally rocked the 10k!!!!
C'mon, next up- 1/2 marathon? :)
Good job! Your running outfit looks really cute too. I used to love running 10ks. It is a fun hobby to get in to!
I'm so impressed. I want to start running....one day!
Awesome!!!! Congratulations-that is such an accomplishment!!! :)
That really is so awesome and such a great accomplishment!
How awesome of you!! I would NEVER take picture of myself after running.. haha so kudos to you! :)
Haha. Utah and root beer. Classic:-) Not that I would want either beer or rootbeer after a run. Blegh! xoxo
Congrats. Seriously, running aint the easiest thing to do. You are an inspiration I tell you!
SO PROUD OF YOU! It's great that you did it and finished and had a great time! I think you needed something a little stronger than root beer though...
I'm excited for you!!! Running any kind of 5k, 10k, etc. is a challenging thing but fun at the same time. Congrats on your time, that's fantastic!
I can't even imagine running that far, that's an awesome accomplishment! I love reading your blog, you're a doll!!
Congratulations on your run!!! You look so beautiful! And what an amazing time!! :) I'm really proud of you - how awesome is that to place 5th in your age group :) I ran a 10K last Dec and it was physically and mentally hard! One of the hardest things I have done. I think I'll stick to the 5Ks - they're challenging enough ha :) By the way, I'm proud of Eric too - signing up without any training - wow!
Thank you for your sweet comment! I'm so glad to find your blog, I'm a follower now for sure! I hope you had a great weekend and please, keep in touch!
Um you are amazing!!! I so look up to you! I ran a 5K once...yeah, that was long haha. I just get so bored! ANd it does hurt! YOU ROCK LADY!
i've always wanted to do one of these. definitely have to get back in shape, that's for sure!!!
xo TJ
So proud of you! You look great even after running such crazy long distances. That means you were totally in shape and ready for it!! :) It's so awesome when our bodies do more than we expect or hope them to do. Are you planning on doing another? ;)

you are an inspiration!
GIRL YOU DID IT! I'm so proud of us. And yes, it does hurt, and I often wonder why I like it. I think it gives me a high from all those endorphins flowing. haha But I go through phases where I love it and then sometimes I need a nice loooong break from it. : ) I'm seriously so happy for you that you did this! And I just want to thank you b/c I didn't tell many people I was doing mine, and I really felt encouraged by you the whole time I trained and ran. You were my personal cheerleader, so thank you. : )
thats so impressive! wow - i wish i could run like that :) thanks for your comment on my blog ...i love meeting new people :) you're right thoughh...sometimes entertaining can be a little stressful - but i love the excuse to set a nice table make my husband clean up all his stuff :P
Amazing! Next race let me know! I need to get into it
