Trip To the Dump...

Ran in my first race today...well, I ran for a good portion of it ... ;) The Metro Waste Authority hosted its Green Run at the dump in Runnells, with a choice of a 5k or 10k. Thankfully, I chose only the 5k...any more than that, and the GatorXUV-patrol probably would have been hauling my sorry-self back in. There was a d.j., food, and plenty of people watching...other than the cold, wet, and uphill running...this was my kind of party! :) 

Our tootsies b/f the race...little did they know what they were in for...
(Jason's in the crazy, out-there Vibram 5 Fingers--he was getting lots of looks from other runners...and made a new friend who wanted to talk about them!)

Ashley and I had a lot of fun! She ended up finishing 4 minutes b/f I did...which was so cool, since she kept worrying that she's not a "real" runner.

Pre-race...I wasn't so in the mood for smiling after...

In the end...the fun run was just that, fun. I got home and looked up some more 5k's to do this fall!
