The start of the race was a little rough. I had pain in every joint but when we hit 1.5 miles my body pretty much went numb and because of that I couldn't feel the pain anymore. Yay!! I started out the race with Mel and Marth and at about 1.5 miles we met the cutest girl, Alicia, this was her first 5K that she was running for her friend and so we "adopted" her. Mel and Alicia ran together to the end and then Mel, being the most amazing friend EVER, ran BACK and finished again with me and Marth! What an amazing support system I've been blessed with. Crossing that finish line was the most amazing feeling. I couldn't believe I had just completed 3 miles without stopping! Of course me being me I cried in Mel's arms for a few minutes after. Ahhh...such an incredible feeling to have completed my first 5K!! I'm so excited to run my next one the 20th of November with Mel and Marth!!! I love my new life and am LOVING the opportunities I've been presented with because of it! Hope you enjoy the pics...
