10K Recap :)

Ok ok so it is about time I recap my 10K. Afterall, it has been a week and I am guessing you want to know how it went....so here it goes! (sorry for the poor quality of some of the pictures. My camera phone is not the best)

Wake up time: 3:45 am....crazy huh?

Ate this.... Jay Robb protein powder, one banana, soy milk, ground flax seed, and coffee

Wore this.... I am addicted to running shorts. I can not wear capri's or pants any longer. I love my shorts :)

Ran with them.... Yeah I know I look tired!!!

Ok Ok so let 's get to the race already, I know that is what you are thinking.

So, how did I do? Well my goal was to finish in under 1:15 and well....I will let you see for yourself.

It might be hard to see, but I finished UNDER my goal! This time is the gun time, but my chip time was actually 1:07:03 with my mile pace at 10:48.

The race was for sure mentally and physically challenging. 6.2 miles is ummm pretty far, but it was awesome! Our trainer Billy finished the race in 34:59 ( I KNOW RIGHT?!?!) so at mile 5 he came back for me and encouraged me for about a 1/2 mile. That was a good pick me up because I was getting tired. Despite a splitting side ache, I was able to finish! I ran the whole way!!! It was an awesome accomplishment and I was so so proud of myself and my team.

Not to mention I got this super sweet Finisher's Medal....dont worry, I did NOT wear it all day *wink*

Team BabyHawk

This race was sponsored by Domino's Pizza, so they had pizza and beer. BLECH right after a race, so we some of us went to Breuggers (sp?) Bagels afterward and grubbed on some bagels!

We saw this crazy site on our way home....YIKES right?

Got home and my brother in law crashed out....I was not afforded that luxury:( I had stuff to do. Not to mention the fact that he was sick.

So instead, I settled for the next best thing....

So when is my next race? 15k, 4th of July in Coronado...Who's in?
