we came, we ran, we conquered!
the 2011 freedom run was just as up hill as last year!
jo, kristie, heather, pam, ashley, jess and i all did awesome.
here are some quick highlights...
kristie 2nd in her age group!
heather 4th in her age group
and i started to cry when i passed the wheelchair racer going up 9th east,
he wasn't in a fancy wheelchair and with every 2 strokes he made it seemed he would roll back one.
i cried because i honestly feel that we are all so blessed to be able to have health bodies that will allow us to run and jump and do so much. i found myself extremely grateful once again to be able to move freely.
2 new prs for me:
5k: 26:50...elle run 1 month ago was 27:40.:)
10K: 58.0 i was hoping to be around 57-58, it felt great and hard!! i went as fast as i could (9:23pace)
(i looked up my race from 2008 and i finished just about the same 58:30)
then kristie and i grabbed some water and ran another 4miles just because we can.still so scared for st. george...
i didn't capture any pics of the race....but the best part was i found $30 on the floor of the port-a-potty race morning!! best race ever!
