5k... Completed!

Well, today was the day of the Gasparilla 5k! It had been awhile since I had posted a running update because I got injured! I was so bummed because things were going SO well! There is something wrong with my hip - every time my left foot lands when I run, it's usually pretty painful, but I took a few Advil before the race and sucked it up! I beat last years time, but only by about 2 minutes. I ran the first 1.25 mile, but had to slow it down. It was a crisp 83 degrees this year, a slight wind in my face, and no shade! I'm glad I got to do it because it's such a fun experience, but hopefully next year my hip will cooperate!! Next Saturday we leave for our cruise, we get back the next one (st. Patrick's day) and then the next one I'm doing an adventure race called The Urban Race with my BFF Brittany! It's a lot more miles than a 5k, but also a lot more stops and challenges/obstacles - cant wait! :)
